Some passengers were terrified, convinced the plane was going down. One seasoned traveler said it was the roughest flight he’d ever taken. A woman on board felt like she was experiencing an earthquake.

Twenty-five people aboard a Delta Air Lines flight were hospitalized after the flight encountered "significant" turbulence Wednesday, the airline said.

The flight, which was taking 275 passengers from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam, made an emergency landing in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening, the airline said.
