Korean flight drops rapidly from 30,000 to 9,000 ft after malfunction; passengers suffer nosebleeds, ear pain
India TV NewsSeoul: At least 13 passengers were hospitalised after a Korean Air flight was forced to make an emergency landing at the Incheon International Airport in South Korea following a malfunction with the plane's cabin pressurisation system. Recalling her experience, a Taiwanese female passenger said the plane suddenly dropped shortly after the meal service, causing intense turbulence inside the cabin, equivalent to a "rollercoaster ride". According to the airport sources, Flight MH 199 carrying 138 passengers took off at 12.45 am but landed back after some time due to technical reasons. Prior to that, an Air Canada Boeing Flight AC872 bound for Paris experienced a mid-air fire shortly after taking off from Toronto Pearson Airport on the evening of June 5.
