A United Airlines flight operating as United Express, SkyWest flight 5690, made an emergency landing in Waco, Texas after hitting severe turbulence that injured five passengers. The flight was en route from Springfield-Branson National Airport to George Bush Intercontinental Airport when it experienced rough air. The Bombardier CRJ-200 was diverted to Waco Regional Airport where medical personnel evaluated passengers and transported five to the hospital with minor injuries. SkyWest and United Airlines ensured all passengers received necessary care and arranged for another aircraft to transport them to Houston. The flight had a total of 29 passengers and three crew members on board. In recent aviation incidents, a FedEx cargo plane had to make an emergency landing after hitting a bird during takeoff, a Delta Air Lines flight returned to Atlanta due to possible smoke in the aircraft, and an American Airlines flight was diverted to Rome from New York to New Delhi after a bomb threat. The emergency landing and injuries on the United Express flight in Waco highlight the potential dangers of turbulence during air travel.
