Question Cabin Pressure Problem or Medical ?
A United Airlines flight en route to Los Angeles from Denver was forced to make an emergency landing in Grand Junction, Colo., when several passengers complained about low cabin pressure shortly after takeoff, causing the pilot to deploy oxygen masks from the plane's ceiling.
"After receiving reports of multiple ill customers, our crew deployed the oxygen masks and elected to divert to Grand Junction," Jennifer Dohm, a spokeswoman for United Airlines, told Yahoo News. "Medical personnel met the flight upon arrival, and we'll fly our passengers on a new aircraft to Los Angeles."
The Airbus A320 carrying 150 passengers and six crew members took off at approximately 8:25 a.m. from Denver International Airport, according to FlightAware.com, landing in Grand Junction just over an hour later.
