Delta passengers suffer bloody noses and ears due to severe cabin pressure problems

Passengers on a Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Portland, Oregon experienced a pressurization issue that left them with bloody noses and ears. The flight was unable to pressurize above 10,000 feet, causing discomfort for passengers. Crew members followed procedures to return to Salt Lake City where immediate assistance was provided to passengers. Despite the apology from the airline, passengers described feeling intense pain in their ears, with some experiencing bleeding. Medical personnel treated or evaluated 10 people upon arrival at the gate. The Boeing aircraft had 140 passengers on board, and Delta technicians were able to quickly fix the issue. The plane was briefly taken out of service before returning to service the next day. The cause of the pressurization issue is unclear. Passengers expressed shock and discomfort due to the incident, with one passenger describing the sensation as feeling like someone was stabbing her in the ear. The airline company expressed regret for the passengers’ experience and ensured that necessary support was provided to those affected.
