“Out of 166 passengers on board, 30 have reported nose bleeding, few have ear bleeding and some are complaining headache. All the affected passengers are being attended to by the doctors at the airport,” the official further said.
Always good to see that the authorities really uphold the 'just safety culture'... Investigation? Nahh... way overrated. Let's just throw the pilots under the bus.
