More than a dozen people were sent to the hospital.
Airline officials say the flight was on its way to Pittsburgh from Sanford, Florida, when it hit turbulence and dropped at least one thousand feet.
Pan Am officials say there were no problems with the plane, but the turbulence threw passengers around and knocked one flight attendant unconscious.
So officials say the best thing to do was make an emergency landing at the nearest airport.
14 people were taken to Charleston area hospitals. None of the injuries appears to be serious.
