One person died as a result of severe turbulence on a private business jet that was diverted to an airport in Connecticut, according to aviation officials.

A Bombardier CL30 jet departing from Dillant-Hopkins Airport in Keene, New Hampshire, heading to Leesburg Executive Airport in Virginia was diverted to the Connecticut airport around 4 p.m. on Friday after “encountering severe turbulence,” the Federal Aviation Administration wrote in a statement to CNN. That turbulence “resulted in fatal injuries” to one passenger, the National Transportation Safety Board wrote on Twitter.

From 2009 to 2021, 146 people suffered a “serious injury” from turbulence, defined as an injury that requires hospitalization for more than two days, causes a bone fracture, leads to severe hemorrhage or other damage, involves an internal organ, or involves significant burns, according to FAA data. Of those 146 serious injuries, about 80% were crew members. CNN has reached out to the FAA for data on turbulence deaths.

Wealthy people flying around in private planes / charter act as though they are above wearing seatbelts , they are the same way in limos , had everyone had their seatbelt on , likely everyone would still be alive . Prayers for their family and friends , didn’t need to happen !

Tragic. Condolences to the family. Rest in peace.
