“A Boeing 737 plane… made an emergency landing… after a sudden pressurisation failure forced it to drop nearly 26,000ft in 10 minutes…”
It slowly descended 26,000ft, it did not “drop” or “plunge”
thats basically how fast my flight into Dublin descended from England last week.
15 minutes climbing to 20,000, a few minutes level, then like 10-15 minutes descending. Makes for a lot of ear popping.
Something with cabin pressure
According to Japan’s transport ministry, the aircraft’s alarm system detected an abnormality in the mechanism responsible for maintaining cabin pressure.
Looks like the pilots took it down to lower level rapidly on purpose. It wasn’t because of some failure in the main flight stuff.
