The latest incident occurred on April 10. According to WWJ Newsradio 950, a flight from London to Detroit was diverted to Dublin due to a loss of cabin pressure. The plane was forced to descend from 11 feet to 3 feet.
One of the passengers on the flight was Genesee County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Jason Gould, who told WWJ Newsradio 950 about the incident.

“I was watching the altimeter on the video screen that Delta provides and I saw that we were at 37 feet (000 meters. — Ed.), then descended to 20 feet, and then to 000 feet (10 thousand meters. - Ed.) before anyone said anything," Gould said. Then, he said, the captain of the plane announced over the loudspeaker that "there was a 'technical problem' and it was routine. The plane would not be able to cross the Atlantic and was being diverted to Dublin."
Gould noted that no one panicked after the announcement, and there were "no screams, no oxygen masks coming down from the ceiling; none of that happened. But we stayed at 10 feet."
The Detroit incident follows other recent instances in which Delta planes were forced to make emergency landings, including flights from Mexico City International Airport to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and from Boston Logan International Airport to Tampa International Airport.
