Flight goes wrong: 'Blood was spurting from our ears and nose'

A Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Portland had to make an emergency landing on Sunday due to an air pressure problem on board. Some passengers started bleeding from their noses and ears.

The flight was diverted to Salt Lake City again and the injured received immediate treatment. Ten people had to be treated. The passengers were then able to continue their journey on another plane.

"It was like someone was sticking something in my ear. It sounded like my ear was bubbling. When I touched it, blood came out," affected passenger, Jaci Purser, told CNN.

Technicians restored the air pressure in the aircraft and the plane is now back in service without any problems.
