The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that 12 people were injured when a Qatar Airways plane flying from Doha to Dublin on Sunday hit turbulence, airport authorities said. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe says that eight of the injured were hospitalized. Dublin Airport said in a statement that Flight QR017, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, landed safely as scheduled before 1 p.m. local time. It said that upon landing, the aircraft was met by emergency services, "due to six passengers and six crew reporting injuries after the aircraft experienced turbulence while airborne over Turkey." The airport said all passengers were assessed for injuries aboard the plane, and eight were then taken to hospital. Passenger Paul Mocc told Irish broadcaster RTE that he saw "people hitting the roof" and food and drinks flying everywhere. Another traveller, Emma Rose Power, told RTE that after the turbulence, "some of the flight attendants I saw, they had scratches on their face, they had ice to their face. There was one girl that had a sling on her arm." The airline said in a statement that "a small number of passengers and crew sustained minor injuries in flight and are now receiving medical attention."
