Hawaiian officials said a flight from Phoenix to Honolulu left 36 people injured Sunday after the plane carrying 278 passengers hit "severe turbulence" near the islands on Sunday morning.
The big picture: The Honolulu Emergency Medical Services said 20 people were taken to local hospitals, including 11 people in serious condition, following the Hawaiian Airlines incident, which occurred as the National Weather Service said a "strong cold front" passing through Hawaii was bringing "weather hazards."
