A United Airlines Boeing 787 flight made an emergency landing Friday evening, leaving 22 passengers injured due to “severe” turbulence.
Flight 85 was flying from Tel Aviv to Newark, New Jersey, when severe turbulence struck, forcing it to divert its path to New York Stewart International Airport in Orange County, New York, around 6:45 p.m.
New Windsor paramedics rushed to the scene as soon as the plane touched down.

“If it’s Boeing....I AIN’T going!”
This was funny the first time.
Cute the second time.

It’s getting rather old.
This message brought to you by Airbus SE.
In all honesty, for some very technical reasons, it’s partly Boeing’s fault, and partly United’s fault, and partly stupid passenger’s fault.
What does inflight turbulence have to do with Boeing?
That’s comical, isn’t it?!
:)
Boeing: outta the frying pan, into the fire.
Hey but Stephanie has a REAL resume behind her: got a BA in Accounting at Southwestern Missouri State. Famous school for aviation geniuses.
And Howie was probly the onlyiest guy who looked like himself in pretty much every group he was ever in. So of course they had to put him in charge! He’d feel bad if they didn’t!
Comment: short Boeing stock.
I see you’re watching my posts, again, Gary!
That’s getting really old.

How about you get going….on a Boeing? 😉
Of all the places I fly, EWR has the most consistent gusty crosswind conditions I've seen. Kennedy has the nice 13/31 parallels, I don't think EWR had the space to put good runways so they were forced to have 04/22 parallels - not ideal
People must have gotten banged up pretty good to divert to Stewart. It only saves 10 -15 minutes over EWR. Just glad it wasn't me.
Clear air turbulence is hard to predict.
It’s not the plane’s fault although the air traffic controllers pilots should have known about the weather conditions.
Apparently Boeing is to blame for winds now.
On a related note, from March 20th: FAA relocating control of Newark, NJ, airspace to reduce congestion.

...and maybe check the manufacturer of the plane you're about to board...
OMG!!!! I had NO IDEA that BOEING WAS SO FAR GONE!
True.
Only place that I liked less was PVD, (Providence) where a 727 (it was that far back) had to slam it on the numbers or wind up in the Burger King on the other side of Airport Road. In rough weather it became more of a carrier landing than anything else.
A Boeing plane?
Turbulence only hits Boding planes?
Stellar journalism
Two of the biggest DEI hires within Boeing. Ted Culbert being another.
