If the flight crew got so sick due to turbulence, imagine the passengers!!!
I'm quite resistant to turbulence, but I would not have liked to test my limits in this flight.

below 10,000 feet the aircraft encountered severe turbulence all the way down. Both flight crew felt sick and had problems controlling the aircraft, at 1600 feet the crew initiated a go-around and received vectors for a second approach. The first officer became ill and was unable to continue duties. The captain requested a diversion to Baltimore at low altitude below turbulence, ATC provided vectors to Baltimore but refused vectors at low altitude. While enroute to Baltimore the first officer recovered and resumed duties but again became ill and unable to continue duties while on approach to Baltimore. The captain managed to land the aircraft safely in Baltimore about 25 minutes after going around.
