United Says No Problem Found After Emergency Landing
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) — United Airlines says no mechanical or technical problems were found after a plane bound from Denver to Los Angeles made an emergency landing in Grand Junction on Wednesday.
Spokeswoman Jennifer Dohm says flight attendants alerted the captain that several passengers reported feeling ill and the captain decided as a precaution to deploy the oxygen masks in case cabin pressurization was an issue.
The plane landed safely, and one passenger was treated at a local hospital and released. Others continued on another flight to Los Angeles.
Grand Junction Fire Department spokesman Shawn Montgomery says firefighters tested for toxic gases and no problems were found.
