30 injured as turbulence hits New York-bound Turkish Airlines flight

At least 30 people were injured after an Istanbul-New York Turkish Airlines passenger jet suffered severe turbulence. The injuries were "mostly bumps, bruises and cuts" though a flight attendant suffered a broken leg, an official said. The plane, which had 326 passengers and 21 crew onboard, was over Atlantic Ocean, around 45 minutes from landing, when it struck the turbulence.
