A United Airlines flight from Newark to Rome took a terrifying turn Wednesday when the plane plunged more than 28,000 feet in just 10 minutes and was forced to turn back to a New Jersey airport.
United Airlines Flight 510 never made it to Rome after the Boeing 777 developed problems with its cabin pressurization, forcing the plane to rapidly descend and the pilot to turn the plane carrying 270 passengers and 14 crew, a spokeswoman told The Post.
The plane departed Newark Liberty International Airport at 8:37 p.m. and landed back at the airport at 12:27 a.m. instead of its planned destination of Rome–Fiumicino International Airport, according to flight tracker FlightAware.
The plane returned to Newark “to address a possible loss of cabin pressure,” a United Airlines spokeswoman said in a statement.
“The flight landed safely and there was never a loss of cabin pressure,” the spokesman said.

The Federal Aviation Administration also said the plane had a “pressurization issue,” prompting it to turn around.
But before the switch, the plane fell about 28,000 feet in just 10 minutes, according to FlightAware data.
Travelers to Italy finally made it to their destination when they disembarked from the Boeing 777 and were flown on another plane, United Airlines said.
