    The plane reached a maximum altitude of 38,075 at 5:23 p.m., before
    nosediving about 1,300 feet in two minutes. The aircraft returned to
    37,000 and continued on to the Twin Cities, according to
    Flightradar24.com, a flight tracking website.

    Passenger Nick-Taylor Jensen was on the flight, headed home to Aarhus,
    Denmark, after being gone a week for work. He said seat belt signs
    were off, people were in the aisle and flight attendants were serving
    drinks. Then all of a sudden, the jetliner hit "extreme turbulence,"
    Jensen said.

    "A man five rows in front of me flew out of his seat and hit the
    ceiling," Jensen told the Minnesota Star Tribune. "The side-to-side
    and up-and-down jostling was not normal turbulence. The noise of the
    plane and extreme rushing air was unlike anything I've heard on a
    flight."
