At least 22 customers and two crew members were taken to a hospital for evaluation after a JetBlue flight experienced rough turbulence Thursday evening, a spokeswoman for the airline said.

JetBlue Flight 429 was headed from Boston to Sacramento, but had to be diverted to Rapid City, South Dakota, at about 6:30 p.m. (8:30 p.m. ET), spokeswoman Katherine McMillan said.

Passenger Derek Lindahl said a woman sitting in front of him rose 2 feet into the air in the cabin at one point because she wasn't wearing a seat belt.

"I literally grabbed her out of the air to hold her to the seat," said Lindahl, a software engineer from Sacramento.

Rhonda Renee, another passenger, said the turbulence was like a bad dream.

"People were flying out of their seat belts and hitting their head on the ceiling; it was very scary," Renee said. A flight attendant was assisted off the plane by medical personnel.

When they tell you to put your seatbelts on they aren't kidding people.

i have a flight in 10 days

You should always have your seatbelt buckled if you're seated. There's really no excuse.

Sounds like Lost

I'm flying with them tomorrow But people should have been wearing their seatbelt. They don't say wear them just for fun. Also the pilot puts on the seatbelt sign when there is turbulence. These people were just being dumb.
