    If 20 more were injured then the seatbelt sign probably wasn’t on, which means they probably hit clear air turbulence in cruise. Usually the planes ahead will report anything like that so the ones behind it will know what’s coming, but this must’ve been a big bit of windshear one out of nowhere.
