達美航空(Delta Air Lines)一架載有174名乘客與6名機組人員的第2311號班機,於6日自洛杉磯飛往鹽湖城途中遭遇空中失壓驚魂,客艙內氧氣面罩突然掉落,機組人員緊急將飛機下降並轉降拉斯維加斯。

《紐約郵報》報導,當航管員詢問「是否已釋放氧氣面罩」時,機長回覆「確認」,飛機隨後安全降落於哈里·里德國際機場,全機人員皆正常下機。達美發言人強調安全至上,機組員皆依訓練程序處理,公司已安排替代航班並為此經歷向旅客誠摯致歉,同時感謝機組與地面團隊的專業應對。

擁有近40年飛行經驗的退役美國海軍F/A-18戰鬥機飛行員巴克利(Matthew "Whiz" Buckley)指出,這種客艙失壓狀況在美國「極為罕見」,飛行員在此情境下的首要任務就是「盡快降落」,即尋找具備合適長跑道的最近機場以確保安全著陸。

這起事件在網路引發熱議,機上乘客在社群平台Reddit發文還原客艙內的混亂情況。有乘客透露當時最可怕的不是急降,而是對狀況一無所知的恐懼,由於空服員戴著面罩廣播,幾乎完全聽不清聲音;也有剛從睡夢中被未婚夫叫醒的旅客表示,自己慌忙嘗試連接機上WiFi,深怕發不出「我愛你」的告別簡訊。

該篇貼文隨後引來許多有類似經歷的網友留言回應,其中一名用戶分享過去搭乘達美航空時,飛機曾戴著面罩從3萬4千英呎急速下降至1萬英呎,直到到達安全高度且機長開麥廣播前,那幾分鐘的快速下降過程極其心驚膽戰,當時全機乘客只能保持安靜並專注於透過面罩呼吸。
