What: All Nippon Airways (ANA) Boeing 767-300 en route from Matsuyama to Tokyo
Where: Tokyo’s Haneda airport
When: Thursday August 27
Who: 262 passengers and 8 crew
Why: The left hand air conditioning system failed shortly after takeoff. Then, while en route, cabin pressure dropped. At that point, oxygen masks deployed; the pilot descended 10,000 feet to normalize pressure and flew the last 45 minutes of the flight. Though some passengers felt ill, there were no injuries, and the plane landed normally.

George’s Point of View

That must have been a fun, white-knuckled flight, leaving terror-induced claw marks etched into the armrests.
