Passengers Bleed From Ears After Pressure Issue on Plane

It was a flight these passengers will never forget. A Delta jet had just taken off from Salt Lake City, en route to Portland, Oregon, when something went wrong. As the plane ascended to 10,000 feet, several passengers started screaming in pain, bleeding from their ears or nose. Jim Moret says the aircraft immediately turned around and made an emergency landing back where it had just taken off. The airline apologized to its customers and also said that the aircraft was unable to pressurize above 10,000 feet.

Looks like the airline is gonna get sued for that. They just bursted everyone’s eardrums.

If my ears start bleeding I would literally be going insane and think to myself, am I going to be deaf after this?

[mtnmanMTA]

Not gonna lie, I would have been freaking out.

delta never admitting any responsibility

[shelbs]

i can barely withstand swimming in a 10ft pools pressure in my ears! I can’t even fathom how painful that must’ve been for them that their ears began BLEEDING??

Will Delta cover the medical and hospital bills of the passengers? If not that's scummy.

Delta: We sincerely apologize to our customers.
Customers: And we sincerely apologize to your wallet.

Let's be real here; before we pressed play on that video, we were all secretly betting on the aircraft being a Boeing, weren't we?

My ears always pain as a result of the change in air pressure when the plane is landing. I can’t imagine the level of pain you can experience with an incident like this. Bleeding out of your ears and nose must be terrifying.

I actually enjoy road trips. Driving in my comfy Chevy Silverado, listening to my tunes, and looking at the beautiful land as I get out of the suburbs.

Cabin Pressure is a major issue . I am surprised the pilots did not have issues .

Gosh Plane Maintenance is not being taken seriously

[michaelgarrison]

Delta airline has given all the customers a full refund

[Stardusted]

It hurts like hell. Happened to me once flying with a cold.😊

[lizacrochets]

I've had my ears bleed before on a plane, but i guess I was the only one . I was about 9, and my older brother was flying with me . I turned out fine 🤷‍♀️ cried but no permanent damage

[-_-Spectator-_-]

Glad i don't work for Delta anymore because a lot of young people doesn't care about their job and supervisors doesn't care about their employees

[katwashere]

If you’re still flying on a Boeing you have more screws loose than the plane itself 😂

[sabrinac]

Oh my gosh this is crazy! Hope they’re okay now.

[gabethedinosaur]

I’ve been riding airplanes for years and it’s never happened to me. But this is scary for people . I hope something changes

Those injuries may have long term consequences (hearing disabilities, etc). Hope they investigate seriously into the matter so it doesn’t happen again.
