No injuries were reported after a U.S. Air Force C-5 transport plane experienced a loss of pressurization while en route from Germany to Massachusetts.
"A C-5 B assigned to Westover Air Reserve Base was returning from overseas en route to Dover Air Force Base at 34,000 feet with 25 crew and passengers when the aircraft experienced a loss of pressurization shortly after 11 a.m. while over the Atlantic Ocean," a statement from the Westover Air Reserve Base said.
"As a precaution the aircraft was diverted to Westover ARB for maintenance actions. Westover rescue crews are standing by as a standard safety measure. No injuries were reported, and no in-flight emergency was declared," the statement read.
