"I looked over at my husband, and he had both of his hands over his ears, you know, kind of leaning forward," the passenger told the outlet. "I looked about a row behind me, over on the other side of the aisle, and there was a gentleman that clearly had a very bad bloody nose, and people were trying to help him."

There were 10 passengers that needed a medical evaluation following a possible pressurization issue. The airline did not release what type of evaluation or treatment those people received.
