Seven people were taken to hospital after Lufthansa Flight 469 experienced severe turbulence on Wednesday evening.

The Airbus A330 departed Texas and was on the way to Germany when it hit turbulence over Tennessee.

The turbulence sent objects flying through the plane and several injuries were reported. The plane landed at the Washington Dulles International Airport.

The FAA will investigate the incident.
