CNN —Dozens of people were injured after a flight from Australia to New Zealand experienced a “technical event” that produced a sudden movement, according to the flight’s operator, with witnesses telling local media passengers were suddenly thrown around the cabin. “Flight LA800, operating the Sydney — Auckland route today, had a technical event during the flight which caused a strong movement,” the statement said, which added the plane landed as scheduled in Auckland on Monday. The statement did not elaborate on what the technical event was. LATAM Airlines is Chile’s flagship carrier and stops regularly in Auckland en route to Santiago. Valentina suffered minor injuries but was treated by medical crew once the plane landed.
