A United Airlines Boeing 787 flight made an emergency landing Friday evening, leaving 22 passengers injured due to “severe” turbulence.
Flight 85 was flying from Tel Aviv to Newark, New Jersey, when severe turbulence struck, forcing it to divert its path to New York Stewart International Airport in Orange County, New York, around 6:45 p.m.
New Windsor paramedics rushed to the scene as soon as the plane touched down.

It’s not the plane’s fault although the air traffic controllers should have known about the weather conditions.
Now Boeing is responsible for the quality deficiencies in the atmosphere!! HORRORS! Turbulence in the air is now caused by Boeing!! Imagine if every car accident on our roadways they used the car manufacturer in each story.
Aviation ping.
If it’s Boeing....I AIN’T going!
DEI controllers?
We’ve been blessed by not having a catastrophic plane crash in the last few years. Let’s keep praying.

Whaddyathink????
So the plane survived severe turbulence and nobody died and this is Boeing’s fault?
Yeah, Boeing has problems but this isn’t one of them.
That’s a possibility.
But it is not a flaw in the plane.

Boeing builds things that contribute to global warming which is the underlying cause of turbulence as every qualified DEI aeronautics engineer knows well. So Boeing is responsible.
Boeing is a HUGE defense contractor...
It’s no accident that turbulence started with the Wright brothers. They should have left well enough alone.
That's just fine. Have a pleasant walk and get rid of the tired cliche (lose the "boing boing" too if you use it).
The main runways at EWR run almost north-south. (I used to fly out of there monthly.) If the wind is not compatible with runway orientation, there is no alternative, it’s a crosswind landing or go elsewhere. That’s what they did. Runways at JFK run almost exactly 90 degrees to those at EWR. Easy-peasy.
Yet another reminder to keep your seatbelt fastened while flying when you can.
OK, didn’t notice they went to Stewart. Same thing applies, Stewart’s runway is approximately east-west.
