Skywest E-175 for United does emergency descent and emergency landing in Buffalo
Reports are the plane lost pressurization. Diverted to Buffalo. (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I can only guess that the closer we get to election day 2016 the worse rhetoric like this will become. Are any of these "comments" germane to the Skywest article? George Bush , either one flew fighter planes not an E-175.
If one makes a blatantly false comment regarding the performance of an aircraft, airline or pilot's actions, should we let that go or challenge it?
Why should it be any different with any other comment made? You either hold people to a higher standard or you accept as fact every piece of BS stated. I'm not one to do the latter.

I'm not sure how that fits in with the competence of Fox News, George Bush, Dick Chaney,... Sparkie and you stayed on topic but the wild comments of some others are a waste of space an time to pick through.Case in point, the laundry list provided by Randy Marco about 10 entries down. My point is that the site is for aviation topics, although CNN does sem to take liberties with story facts on occasion,
This also happens because media outlets don't want to pay for aviation expert reporters, so they grab what they can when they need them and hope for the best.
Actually, the real story: the plane was flying over Buffalo and s few passengers looked outside and saw the snow on the ground. It was such a shock that they fainted. Typical overreaction!
get it right or get it first? has been the question ever since the telegraph...information traveling faster than the ability to verify.
since its a known problem and has been for eons, why keep acting surprised?
the only thing that would prevent or reduce it is monetary penalties.
obvious why we don't / can't do that every time!

It is stated it was not a pressurization problem, and that is probably true... If it was a structural issue like SWA has had it would have had pictures posted everywhere by now... But somehow they obviously had an issue... One of 2 things probably happened... They lost a Pack or they lost a bleed. At FL410 they cannot pressurize the a/c off of one pack, one engine can not supply 2 packs at that altitude... It says they descended to 28,000 feet... With a Pack or Bleed failure that is what the the max altitude would have been. It is my opinion they they either lost a bleed valve or a pack in flight and thus could not maintain that pressure and had to emergency decent. I think that they could have continued to there destination if it had not created some medical emergencies.
