A person died as a result of the strong turbulence suffered this Friday by a private business plane that was diverted to the Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, in Connecticut, United States, according to the aviation authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Bombardier CL30 aircraft leaving Keene’s Dillant-Hopkins Airport in New Hampshire for Leesburg Executive Airport in Virginia was diverted to the Connecticut airport around 4 p.m. Friday after “encountering severe turbulence,” the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) wrote in a statement to CNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That turbulence “caused fatal injuries” to a passenger, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three passengers and two crew members were on board the private plane, the NTSB wrote in a statement sent to CNN. The condition of the other people is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was no impact on airport operations, according to a statement from the Connecticut Airport Authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Examiner was scheduled to perform an autopsy on the deceased passenger on Saturday, a spokesperson told CNN. The deceased person has not been publicly identified and no further information about him has been provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAA, NTSB and FBI will investigate the incident, according to statements by the FAA and the Connecticut State Police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
