People flew out of seats, and one even hit the ceiling, according to Hawaii News Now
Passenger Kaylee Reyes told the network her mother had not buckled her seatbelt, causing her to fly up and crash into the ceiling as the turbulence came out of “nowhere.”
A Twitter user, who posted video of the event, but was not seriously injured, also saw people hit the ceiling.
They said that some people in the back of the plane had broken their necks, and were bleeding from their head and face.
“i hope they all recover soon as this was a very traumatic event,” they wrote.
A spokesperson for Honolulu Emergency Medical Services told The U.S. Sun 11 of those injured were seriously hurt following the Hawaiian Airlines flight.
The turbulence occurred 30 minutes outside of Honolulu.
A total of 20 passengers were taken to the hospital, and nine are in stable condition.
They were treated in multiple emergency rooms.
One injured passenger is only 14 months old.
Firefighters, ambulance crews, and the federal Aircraft Rescue Firefighting responded at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport at 11:06 a.m Sunday.
The spokesperson referred to the incident as a “mass casualty emergency.”

He said the flight landed safely at 10:50a.m.
There was a storm and high winds prior to the incident.
