By Rhiannon HoyleRoughly 50 people were treated by first responders after a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, operated by Latam Airlines, experienced what the airline called a technical event when traveling from Sydney to Auckland. Latam Airlines said it had "a technical event during the flight which caused a strong movement." New Zealand ambulance service, Hato Hone St. John, said it dispatched 14 units including seven ambulances to Auckland International Airport after hearing of the in-flight disturbance at 1558 local time. The plane was a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, according to data from FlightAware, a flight-tracking site. "We are working to gather more information about the flight and will provide any support needed by our customers," Boeing said in an emailed statement.
