Officials say one passenger died when a business jet experienced severe turbulence, forcing a landing at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut.
WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. — A business jet was buffeted by severe turbulence, killing a passenger and forcing the aircraft to divert to Bradley International Airport, officials said Saturday.
Five people were aboard the Bombardier executive jet that was shaken by turbulence late Friday afternoon while traveling from Keene, New Hampshire, to Leesburg, Virginia, said Sarah Sulick, spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board. The board, which launched an investigation, was interviewing the two crew members and surviving passengers, and the jet cockpit voice and data recorders were sent to National Transportation Safety Board headquarters for analysis, Sulick said.
A Federal Aviation Administration database showed the jet was owned by Conexon, based in Kansas City, Missouri. The company declined comment Saturday.Most of us have experienced turbulence while traveling: when your plane flies through clashing bodies of air moving at widely different speeds.
