Mike Slack Discusses Delta Air Lines Turbulence Incident With the Star Tribune

Aviation attorney Mike Slack was featured in The Minnesota Star Tribune discussing the recent Delta Air Lines turbulence incident that left 25 passengers and crew injured.

While turbulence is an expected part of flying, Slack pointed out that this event appeared different. Based on early weather data and the flight’s path, he believes the incident could have been avoided. “This wasn’t a clean-air turbulence event,” he told the Star Tribune. “There was visible weather in the area.”

As a board-certified aviation attorney and former aerospace engineer, Slack regularly investigates in-flight injuries and aircraft safety failures. His perspective adds important context to the growing conversation about climate-related turbulence risks and airline safety protocols.
