Airplane passengers reportedly bleed from noses during flight

Some airplane passengers onboard a Jet Airways flight in India bled from their noses following an error by cabin crew.

As a result, the aircraft had to fly back to an airport to give treatment to those affected on the plane carrying 166 passengers.

This has prompted an investigation by the aviation ministry who have suspended the cockpit crew while it gathers facts.

The passengers on the flight reportedly wore oxygen masks in response to the mishap which has brought up a discussion concerning air safety in India.
