Four flight attendants were injured and one was hospitalized after landing at Los Angeles International Airport. The incident, which occurred during descent from a cruising altitude of approximately 27.000 feet, highlights the occupational risk of cabin crew encountering unexpected air turbulence on transpacific routes. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating the cause of the incident. The industry study found that cabin crew were injured in 92 percent of cases, and that of 84 recorded serious turbulence injuries on board US airlines, 71 involved crew members. The increase in turbulence events in the Pacific region is attributed to an increase in clear-air turbulence over the past four decades.
