Vuelopedia is a work in progress: it currently holds about 30% of the information we expect to have by the third quarter of 2027. Although we use only official, highly reliable sources, some aircraft data and history may still contain errors or inaccuracies. We work hard to clear every anomaly from the records using specialized verification tools.

Accident at Bermuda

On July 28, 2016, the Airbus A321 231 aircraft (registration N913JB), operated by JetBlue Airways, was involved in an accident at Bermuda (Bermuda), leaving 1 injured. Source: the NTSB (United States).

What happened

On 28 July 2016, at about 01:11, JetBlue Airways flight 1561, an Airbus A321 (N913JB) flying from New York JFK to Barbados (BGI), met turbulence in cruise that seriously injured a flight attendant; the aircraft ended up diverting to San Juan, Puerto Rico. At the time of the occurrence, the flight attendant was carrying a pot of boiling water from the aft galley towards the rear lavatories; she held on to the counter with her right hand and moved the pot away with her left so as not to catch a colleague. A sharp drop of the aircraft threw the water into the air and it landed on her left shoulder and side, causing second-degree burns. The sky was mostly clear and the crew were using the weather radar without getting returns; the turbulence was sudden, with no associated rain, and the air became smooth again immediately.
