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.

What happened
On 11 September 2001, after the attacks with hijacked aircraft on the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon, the FAA ordered — for the first time in history — the complete closure of United States airspace (the SCATANA plan): all civil aviation was told to land immediately, and by midday the American sky was clear. Around 240 international flights bound for the United States were diverted to Canada — Operation Yellow Ribbon, with more than 30,000 passengers. Airspace reopened gradually from 13 September, by then under new security measures. Source: the FAA (United States).

What happened
United Airlines flight 963, arriving from Berlin-Brandenburg, Germany, met convective turbulence while descending into Newark (EWR). One flight attendant suffered serious injuries and three others minor ones. The crew had warned the lead flight attendant to expect turbulence and to bring the cabin duties forward; the seatbelt sign was on. A SIGMET for moderate turbulence between 20,000 and 30,000 feet was in force. Level at 23,000 feet and past the Albany VOR, they were cleared down to 16,000. At 22,500 feet the aircraft suffered an uncommanded roll of about 45° to the right, followed by another of about 45° to the left; the pilot corrected with aileron and reduced thrust below the turbulence penetration speed. No passengers were hurt, but one flight attendant was taken to hospital with a fractured collarbone and a punctured lung. Source: the NTSB (United States).
