Turbulence. Wonder if any injuries are lap babies? :(
So important to take baby's car seat on the plane....
And keep your seat belt fastened while seated.
 
Update says 4 passengers and 3 crew.
Guessing flight attendants and people going to the lavatory.
 
That link Confirmed 3 flight attendants and 4 passengers.
 
Passengers described chaotic scenes when turbulence hit.

"It rolled on its side. Everything went flying. It was pretty intense," passenger Karen Case told CNN partner CBC in Canada.

Case said the plane dipped two times. "I really thought that was it," he said.

Terrified passengers screamed while others grasped for oxygen masks, Gustavo Canda told CBC. Others passed out.

Wow they must have been so terrified :(
 
Just glad they are here to BE terrified.
With turbulence that severe they are lucky the plane wasn't damaged.
