50 people injured after a 'strong movement' on Boeing flight to New Zealand


South American airline LATAM said there was a “technical event" on the flight from Sydney to Auckland on Monday.

Dozens of passengers were injured by a "strong movement" on board a Boeing-made plane flying from Sydney, Australia, to Auckland in New Zealand on Monday, with some requiring hospital treatment, authorities said. The statement continued: "LATAM regrets the inconvenience and injury this situation may have caused its passengers, and reiterates its commitment to safety as a priority within the framework of its operational standards." Boeing has made headlines several times in recent months for technical problems with its aircraft, most notably when the door panel of an Alaska Airlines flight blew out midair over Portland, Oregon, on Jan. 5.
