14 injured on AA flight after hitting bad turbulence
A Dallas-bound American Airlines flight that took off Tuesday from Seoul, South Korea, was diverted to Japan after encountering turbulence.

There were some terrifying moments on a flight that were caught on video. The newly-released video gives us a glimpse of an encounter with severe turbulence that landed five people in the hospital.

Anyone not buckled in went airborne during this flight Tuesday from Seoul, South Korea to Dallas.

The shaking started off the coast of Japan and as the plane flew through a storm, the American Airlines crew made an unplanned landing in Tokyo.

Most of the passengers arrived in Dallas on Wednesday.
