Question to the professionals here. One pax elsewhere in the aircraft, seemed to think they were already at 30,000'. Taking off from LGA and having just reached to SW part of NY, would they have been at this altitude that quickly? I question this because I think the situation with the pax next to the window might have been a lot worse at 30,000'. ??
Not minimizing the situation at all. Helluva an ordeal either way you look at it.
