The final hour of a Southwest Airlines flight to Manchester was a little tense during the weekend after the plane lost cabin pressure and 131 passengers had to wear oxygen masks.
"All of a sudden, you had a pretty significant popping of the ears, then the oxygen masks came down," Dr. Christopher Newton, a passenger, said.
The problem affected Southwest Flight 530 Sunday night from Las Vegas to Manchester.
When the pressure dropped, the pilot descended rapidly to a lower altitude to bring the pressure back up to safer levels, FAA spokesman Jim Peters said.
