Delta Air Lines Oxygen Masks Deploy Amid Scary Pressurization Issue On Flight
Delta Flight 2311 from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City experienced a pressurization issue on September 6, causing oxygen masks to deploy for 174 passengers and six crew members.
The plane descended about 27,000 feet in 10 minutes before diverting to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, where it landed safely with no reported injuries.
Delta confirmed the crew followed safety procedures and arranged for a replacement aircraft so passengers could continue their journey.
Retired Navy pilot Matthew Buckley stated that such pressurization issues are extremely rare and require prompt landing at the nearest suitable airport.
