When a passenger passed out on a SkyWest flight, the pilot wisely went into a dive, descending 20,000 feet in under three minutes to make an emergency landing in Buffalo, NY. Two other passengers fainted and several became ill. Officials are investigating the cause of the illness but have ruled out a loss of air pressure.
Mary Cunningham, a passenger and registered nurse, said she helped another passenger who passed out and had "awful" coloring.
"I went back to my seat after she was feeling better, and all of a sudden, the woman sitting behind her passed out unresponsive," she told NBC Connecticut.
Cunningham said she was soon affected, too.
"I felt very nervous. I realized something was very wrong, and it was really scary," said Cunningham. "That was terrifying."
