My coworker and I were traveling across the country for business.
The two of us boarded a 687 on a single side of the country and we were planning to take a Non-Stop, direct flight to our west coast endpoint.
The length of the trip was slated for 5 and 1/2 hours. The first 2 hours of the trip were uneventful. I had a vodka gimlet and our coworker had a wine spritzer. I called our husband and told the adolescents goodnight. I noticed the airflow in the lodge had decreased and it was starting to guess a little muggy, so I turned the position of the air flow nozzle on our side of the aisle. I figured our blood pressure was entirely high or the stress of the day was getting to me. My coworker and I were trying to get some toil performed on the plane when the flight attendant came over the loudspeaker to tell us we had to make an emergency landing. The ventilation system inside of the plane was experiencing trouble and they felt it was necessary to land early. I knew something didn’t guess right in the air. A lot of people were freaking out about the emergency landing, but our coworker and I travel all the time. This isn’tthe first time our plane has been diverted due to mechanical concerns. It’s a lot better to land early when there is a sign of trouble, because the alternative isn’tgreat. The two of us landed in a small airfield outside of a major neighborhood and they already had another plane waiting to take us the rest of the way.
