Under pressure

I've just been hearing about the Ryanair flight that made an emergency landing in Limoges following an incident where the cabin pressure became faulty. Lots of scared people heading for their holiday in Spain had to struggle in their seats to put on their overhead oxygen masks. Ryanair justify their air crew not telling the passengers what was going on because they too were having to put oxygen masks on and therefore could not speak into the intercom. What a ridiculous excuse! They should have masks that include a microphone so that they can still communicate with their frightened passengers. Hopefully, procedures and equipment will be overhauled. Fortunately, apart from a number of people suffering ear ache, no-one was seriously hurt. Phew!
