Four passengers critically injured when a Continental Airlines plane hit turbulence on its way to Houston from Brazil remain in serious condition in a Miami hospital but are expected to survive, according to officials with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
Continental flight diverted to Miami because of injuries caused by turbulence.
Another 22 people who were injured and treated at the scene are in stable condition. By late this morning, most of the passengers had cleared customs in Miami and were set to resume travel to Houston.
Continental Airlines flight 128 was flying from Rio de Janeiro to Houston Intercontinental Airport when it hit a pocket of turbulence and had to make an emergency landing at Miami International Airport.

Not real sympathetic. Of all the news lately about planes hitting turbulence you would think that people would leave their seatbelts on while setting in their seats. They never think it will happen to them. Now they can all sue the airline because they got hurt. Nobody tied them to their seat so it is the airline's fault.
