A United Airlines flight was forced to turn around this week after plummeting 28,000 feet in a matter of minutes after taking off to Rome from New Jersey.
Data from FlightAware said the plane dropped from about 37,000 feet down to just 9,000 feet in the span of eight minutes just after 10 p.m. EST on Wednesday night, according to CNN. The airline said that the plane returned “to address a possible loss of cabin pressure.”
“United Airlines Flight 510 returned safely to Newark Liberty International Airport around 12:25 a.m. local time on Thursday, Sept. 14, after the crew reported a pressurization issue,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. “The Boeing 777 was headed to Rome–Fiumicino International Airport.”
