Passengers Bleed from Ears and Noses as Cabin Pressure Forces Emergency
A routine flight from Utah to Portland, Oregon, turned into a nightmare for passengers when sudden cabin pressure issues caused some to bleed from their ears and noses. Panic quickly spread as the situation worsened, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing. Here's what happened during those harrowing moments and how passengers described their fear-filled experience.
A Boeing 737-900 aircraft traveling from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Portland, Oregon, was forced to return to Salt Lake City due to pressure issues!
Passengers experienced terrifying moments, with blood coming from their ears and noses. After the emergency landing, health officials determined that at least 10 of the 140 passengers needed medical assistance!
Caryn Allen, one of the passengers, spoke to KSVTV about her experience on the plane.
She mentioned that the passengers quickly realized there was a problem. Allen also reflected on her husband’s condition, who was sitting closest to her, and that of other passengers. “I looked at my husband, who was covering his ears with both hands and leaning forward,” she said. “On the other side of the aisle, I looked back a row and saw a gentleman whose nose was bleeding quite badly, and people were trying to help him.”
Following the incident, the airline issued a statement:
“Delta technicians successfully resolved the pressure issue on the aircraft.” In a statement to KSLTV, officials announced that the problem was addressed promptly, and the aircraft was back in service by September 16. They expressed, “We sincerely apologize to our customers for the experience they had on Flight 1203 on September 15. The flight crew followed procedures to return to SLC, and our ground teams provided support to our customers for their urgent needs.”
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is continuing its investigation into the incident that required an emergency landing due to cabin pressure.
It was also reported that some passengers suffered ruptured eardrums because of the pressure issue.
