Northwest Airlines Flight 22 of April 12, 1972, a Boeing 747-151, N606US, encountered unforecast light-to-severe, clear air turbulence for a period of 55 seconds while cruising at night at 33,000 feet en route to Honolulu, Hawaii, from Tokyo, Japan. There were 146 passengers and a crew of 14 aboard. Seven of the passengers received minor injuries, and two received serious injuries. Five cabin attendants received minor injuries. The aircraft was undamaged. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the entry of the aircraft into an area of unforecast and unexpected severe clear air turbulence when numerous occupants did not have their seatbelts fastened.
