'Pandemonium' reported on turbulent flight

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A crew member remained hospitalized Tuesday after violent turbulence triggered “pandemonium” aboard a United Airlines flight into Billings and sent passengers and crew flying through the cabin, according to company representatives and passengers.

Ejay Old Bull said drinks had just been served and passengers were moving around the cabin on the flight from Denver when the plane started to lurch violently with no prior warning, approximately 55 minutes into the hour-and-a-half flight.
