Eight people on a JetBlue flight were hospitalized, the latest in a series of similar incidents involving commercial airliners.

The flight was temporarily diverted to Orlando, where three flight attendants were taken off for treatment for minor injuries that came as a result of being thrown around inside the plane. Flight 1256, which took off from Guayaquil, Ecuador, and was headed to Fort Lauderdale, “experienced sudden severe turbulence as it neared Florida,” JetBlue said in a statement.
Experts say the best thing passengers can do to stay safe is keep their seatbelt on at all times during flight. Clear air turbulence is sudden severe turbulence occurring in cloudless regions that causes violent buffeting of aircraft. Pilots cannot avoid it, as it is invisible to the naked eye and undetectable by onboard sensors.
