FAA Investigates After Delta Passengers Report Bleeding Ears and Noses During Flight
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched an investigation following reports that passengers on a Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta to Denver experienced severe ear and nose bleeding. The incident occurred due to a sudden cabin pressure loss mid-flight.
Incident Details
According to passenger accounts, the aircraft experienced turbulence before the cabin pressure dropped unexpectedly.
Many passengers described excruciating ear pain and noticed bleeding from their ears and noses. The flight crew immediately deployed oxygen masks and made an emergency descent to stabilize cabin pressure.
Passenger Reactions
“It was terrifying. I couldn’t hear properly, and my nose wouldn’t stop bleeding,” said one passenger.
Delta Airlines issued a statement apologizing for the incident, confirming that the aircraft was taken out of service for inspection.
FAA Investigation
The FAA has confirmed that it will thoroughly investigate the cause of the cabin pressure failure. Aviation experts suggest that a malfunction in the aircraft’s pressurization system could be to blame.
Next Steps
As investigations continue, Delta has assured passengers that safety remains its top priority. The airline is offering full refunds and medical assistance to affected passengers.
