Ethiopian Airlines's emergency landing causes illness
An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 flying from Addis Ababa to Mumbai had to make an emergency landing early Friday morning when the cabin suddenly lost pressure over the Arabian Sea.
The crew acted fast, bringing the plane down safely.
Seven passengers felt dizzy
Seven passengers felt dizzy and nauseous after landing, and one needed to be hospitalized.
Quick action by the pilots kept everyone safe, highlighting just how crucial emergency training is when rare technical issues pop up mid-flight.
Airplane cabins are kept airtight
Airplane cabins are kept airtight so we can breathe normally at high altitudes.
When that system fails—even though it's rare—it can get risky fast, which is why crews train hard for these moments.
Luckily, everyone made it through this scare without any life-threatening injuries.
