Turbulence leaves woman paralyzed
A woman was paralyzed this weekend when severe turbulence struck her Continental Airlines flight en route from Houston to McAllen, officials said.
The woman, 47, sustained a fractured neck early Saturday when she was thrown against the ceiling while in the bathroom of Continental Flight 511, the Associated Press reported.
This is a very unfortunate accident. Please remember to remain seated with seat belt fastened at all times on a plane, even if a flight seems smooth.
