The injured included passengers and crew members aboard Delta Flight 175 from Milan, the airline told WANF in a statement.

They were taken to the hospital upon landing at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and none of their injuries were considered life-threatening, a spokesperson told the outlet.
