Thirty-eight people were injured on a United Airlines flight that was headed this week to Washington, D.C., from Lagos, Nigeria, officials in Nigeria said, after the plane experienced what the airline described as “a technical issue and an unexpected aircraft movement.”
Six people were treated at a hospital for their injuries, the Nigerian authorities and the airline said.
United described the injuries to the six people as “minor,” though the Nigerian authorities described them as “serious.” The Nigerian authorities also said 32 others on the flight had minor injuries.
Video and images on social media show the distress and disarray on the plane, with passengers speaking over one another as food and meal trays are strewed throughout the cabin.
United did not offer more details on what it said was a “technical issue” or about the extent of the movement or any potential causes, but said the matter was being investigated.
“We are working with aviation authorities in the U.S. and Nigeria to understand the cause,” the airline said.
