A Boeing 737-700 aircraft, the FAA confirms, deployed its emergency slide on United Flight 1463. The plane quickly dropped below 11,000 feet and landed safely in Wichita. Passengers are now off the plane.

The Boeing 737-700 aircraft was on its way from Chicago to Orange County, California, when it made an emergency landing on Sunday night at 10:36 pm in Wichita, Kansas.

The FAA confirmed that the emergency slides deployed in mid-flight at an altitude of 38,000 feet. In 12 minutes, the plane dropped to 11,000 ft. due to a loss in cabin pressure. The United Airlines pilots managed to land the plane safely in Wichita. After one hour on the ground in Wichita, all passengers were taken off the aircraft.

United Airlines released a statement saying 96 passengers and 5 crew members were on board the Boeing 737-700. All passengers were seated at the time the slide deployed. No one was hurt.

The flight segment from Wichita to Orange County was cancelled.
