On 18 September, a Delta Air Lines Boeing 767-300 (reg. N1608) operated domestic flight DL2353 between Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale, United States.

The crew decided to divert to Tampa where the aircraft safely landed.
One passenger tweeted: “Flight 2353 God Bless the Captain and crew. Had an emergency midair from Atlanta to Fort Lauderdale. Oxygen masks deployed and we descended quickly and we’re diverted to Tampa. I texted my wife and dad I loved them. Told my mom I love her and hugged my son.”
Tiffany O. Sawyer added: “@Delta so this hasn’t happened before but your #2353 flight crew from ATL to FLL (now Tampa) was awesome@keeping people calm. Now I know the bag doesn’t really inflate…“
