Southwest Flight Attendant injured in Turbulence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to FAA Report on the incident, “On Thursday, July 13, around 12:45 a.m., Southwest Airlines Flight 683 made a safe landing at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport in Alabama.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The crew encountered turbulence at 41,000 feet during the flight from Chicago Midway International Airport,” reported FAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per the preliminary report, one flight sustained a minor injury at FL410. Fortunately, other individuals, including flight attendants, flight crew, and passengers, observed no injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us establish the flight timeline using Flight Radar 24. According to FR24, Southwest Flight WN683 took off from Chicago (MDW) at 3:41 AM UTC on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being airborne for almost 50 mins, the flight faced some disturbance due to unexpected turbulence. This occurred at 4:29 AM UTC when the flight was just over Nashville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this, one flight attendant reported the injury. The pilot continued on the route as it was 20 mins away from its destination. The flight landed safely at around 4:56 AM UTC in Birmingham (BHM), Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft involved in the incident is a Boeing<\/a> 737-700, registered as N498WN and thoroughly inspected for damage upon landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAA has not updated the report as it’s a minor incident; I wish the flight attendant a speedy recovery and welcome us onboard on the WN flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
