What left Portland-bound Delta flight's passengers with busted eardrums, nosebleeds

Portland-bound Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City had to make an emergency landing around 8:30 am local time on Sunday, likely caused by a rapid depressurisation issue inside the aircraft's cabin. Rapid depressurization happens in seconds, caused by pressurization malfunctions or fuselage breaches, with symptoms like ear pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Paramedics treated the passengers who required medical attention.
