Boeing Plane Drops 25k Feet In Five Minutes

This past Saturday, Korean Air Flight KE189 dropped 25,000 feet in five minutes when its plane pressurization system failed. The aircraft, a Boeing 737 Max 8, turned around for an emergency landing in Incheon after being in the air for one hour. Video footage shared on social media shows passengers using oxygen masks. One passenger claimed he was afraid the plane would smash into the ground, and another said they felt like they were on a roller coaster. At least 13 passengers were hospitalized for injuries. An airline employee said the company was “fully cooperating with all relevant authorities to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.” (newser)
