Severe turbulence forced a Beijing-bound United Airlines Boeing 777 with 189 passengers on board back to Newark today after five cabin crew sustained injuries, officials said.<\/p>\n

Flight 89 departed from the New Jersey airport at 12:40 pm (1740 GMT), according to the airline’s website, and had been scheduled to arrive at Beijing Capital International airport at 3pm Friday.<\/p>\n

But Port Authority spokesman Ron Marsico told AFP that UA89 ran into turbulence 45 minutes into the scheduled 14-hour flight.<\/p>\n

“There are five flight attendants with minor injuries — bumps and bruises — although one did complain of severe back pain,” he told AFP.<\/p>\n

The plane returned to Newark and the afflicted flight attendants taken to local hospitals, he said.<\/p>\n

The airline confirmed that the jet landed safely in Newark with 189 passengers and 16 crew members on board.<\/p>\n

Passengers would be accommodated on a flight Friday morning and have been offered hotels in Newark for the evening, she said.<\/p>\n

United officials were “reviewing” the event, Dohm added.<\/p>\n

According to United’s website flight 89 departed at 12:40 pm (1740 GMT) and arrived back at Newark at 3:52 pm.<\/p>\n
