A B767-200 FLT ENCOUNTERS CLR AIR TURB AT FL370; INJURING A PAX AND SEVERAL FLT ATTENDANTS S OF GSO; NC.

Narrative

WE WERE AT FL370. THE CAPT HAD ADVISED US THAT IT SOON MIGHT GET PRETTY BUMPY; SO I SECURED THE FIRST CLASS GALLEY. I THEN WENT TO THE LAVATORY BEFORE PLANNING ON SITTING IN MY JUMP SEAT. WE HIT TURB (MODERATE TO SEVERE; TENDING TOWARDS SEVERE). I WAS STANDING AT THE TIME BUT WAS 'THROWN' DOWN ONTO THE TOILET SEAT. I GRABBED HANDHOLDS UNTIL THE TURB ENDED. I WAS NOT INJURED. WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE LAVATORY; I HEARD THE CALL CHINES FOR A CALL FROM A CREW MEMBER. IT WAS FLT ATTENDANT IN THE AFT OF THE AIRPLANE. SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS HURT. I WAS GOING TO GO BACK TO HELP HER; BUT AS I WALKED INTO COACH I SAW THAT 2 FLT ATTENDANTS AND A PAX WERE ON THE FLOOR. THE PAX; WHO HAD BEEN STANDING AND WALKING TO THE BUSINESS CLASS LAVATORY; HAD BEEN THROWN TO THE GND AND HAD APPARENTLY HURT OR BROKEN HER LEG/ANKLE. A PHYSICIAN WAS ASSISTING. I WAS ASKED BY THE #1 FLT ATTENDANT TO OBTAIN THE SECOND FIRST AID KIT FOR AN ADDITIONAL SPLINT. FROM THAT POINT ON; I ASSISTED IN KEEPING THE CAPT INFORMED OF THE SIT. I FIGURED THAT ANOTHER FLT ATTENDANT IN THE BACK WOULD LOOK AFTER FLT ATTENDANT'S NEEDS. WE THEN PROCEEDED TO DIVERT TO GSO WHERE PARAMEDICS REMOVED OUR PAX AND CHKED OUT FLT ATTENDANT.
