According to printed news accounts, “We hit a pretty bad downdraft and we have some passengers hurt so we need some ambulances to meet the flight,” the pilot said to air traffic control after encountering the rough air, according to air traffic control audio.

Later, the co-pilot added, “It might be as many as six or seven people so might need a couple of ambulances.”
