GRAPEVINE, Tex. — A leaky cargo door seal caused the cabin of a Braniff jetliner bound for Kansas City to depressurize, forcing the airliner to return to Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport, a Braniff spokesman said Monday.
None of the 51 passengers or crew of five aboard Flight 548 were injured Sunday, although air masks dropped from overhead and the Boeing 737 made a steep descent from 31,000 to 10,000 feet, Braniff spokeswoman Irma Ellis said.
