Chaos ensued on a recent United Airlines flight following an automated emergency announcement that instructed passengers to put on their oxygen masks, which inadvertently deployed in spite of no danger present. The unusual incident occurred on a Boeing 777-200 from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris to Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., last Wednesday. While passengers were instructed to wear the oxygen masks, only a few were actually deployed.
small number of oxygen masks inadvertently deployed," United Airlines said in a statement to FOX Business. The company said that the cabin air pressure was normal the entire flight, the aircraft landed safely as scheduled and customers were able to deplane normally. Boeing has been under scrutiny after a door plug blew out mid-flight on one of Alaska Airlines' 737 Max 9 jets in early January.
Tuesday afternoon, a Senate subcommittee held a hearing titled, "Boeing's Broken Safety Culture," featuring testimony from company CEO Dave Calhoun. Calhoun began by addressing the families of passengers who died in Boeing plane crashes in 2018 and 2019. "I want to personally apologize, on behalf of everyone at Boeing," Calhoun told the victims' loved ones, who were holding signs with pictures of the victims' faces.
