The captain had already turned off the fasten seat belt signs and flight attendants were working in the aisles, when the airplane got caught in the unexpected turbulence and threw the flight attendants onto passengers. 6 passengers and 3 cabin crew suffered minor injuries, mainly to the head and back. The flight crew decided to continue the flight and landed safely in Okinawa about 1.5 hours later, where the injured received medical treatment. Lucky. Only minor injuries...
