(Taiwan News) — Over a dozen passengers on a Korean Air flight bound for Taichung needed treatment after the Boeing 737 Max 8 jet experienced an uncontrolled depressurization on Saturday (June 22).

Another uncontrolled plane computer event.

50 minutes into its flight, pilots detected an issue with the plane's pressurization system as it flew over Jeju Island.

The malfunction led to cabin depressurization prompting pilots to descend from a cruising altitude of 9,100 meters to 2,700 meters.

Jeju Island is the southern most island of Korea, in the East China Sea, 534 km ENE of Shanghai.

Not saying it was a cyber hack, probably not, only that it could be, theoretically. If that day is not here already, it will likely come soonish.

There would be a shit-load of sleeper-hacks out there - lying ready to be activated at a time of the hacker-states's choosing. That much seems logical.
