Passengers freak out as oxygen masks deploy on Boeing 737
: Passengers flew into a panic after oxygen masks deployed in their faces aboard a Boeing 737, as seen in a dramatic clip taking off online.
The air scare occurred on Sunday, Aug. 2,5 onboard Air Algerie flight AH 1460 flying from Algeria to Lyon, France, Viral Press reported. The aircraft had reportedly reached an altitude of 33,000 feet when it appeared to experience a pressurization problem, causing the life-saving accessories to deploy.The “cockpit crew decided to flight turn back” in order “to ensure the safety of the company’s passengers,” officials reported.
In order to “ensure the safety of the passengers,” the pilot subsequently turned the plane around and made an emergency landing at the same airport he departed from in Algeria, officials reported.A probe revealed that there weren’t any cabin pressure problems and that the masks had dropped due to a technical bug.That prompted an automated announcement to instruct flyers to put them on.
However, as only a few masks deployed, passengers began to panic with some even attempting to force the compartments open with their hands.Thankfully it was later revealed that the oxygen masks had been activated accidentally and the flyers weren’t in any real danger.
