DAL 109 Madrid/ATL Diverted to JFK due to loss of crew oxygen
« on: November 27, 2013, 12:41:36 PM »
Just happened about 20min ago at 17:10Z, location 37.13/65.10

Emergency descent from FL340 to 10k, revised ETA JFK 18:35

Just tuned in at the "souls on board" part of the QSO, will post complete HF recordings when available.

Revision on the emergency... the problem was not loss of cabin pressure but depletion of crew oxygen, which requires an immediate descent to 10k' and diversion to nearest airport. Originally thought flight was destination JFK but it was ATL. Was about an hour east of ZIBUT when emergency was declared.
