It was a scary minute or so on a Delta flight from Atlanta to Fort Lauderdale.
The plane fell 30,000 feet in minutes.
In a statement by the airline, they said there was a "cabin pressurization irregularity" during the flight.
The flight was diverted to Tampa where it landed without incident.
The plane is now being inspected by maintenance technicians.
