BUDAPEST / EDINBURGH — What was supposed to be an uneventful 3-hour plane ride to Edinburgh turned hellish after passengers started collapsing mid-flight.<br /><br />Passenger Shaun Pinkerton told the Scottish Sun that the fire alarm on the plane was going off during boarding, but the Ryanair flight still took off as planned. <br /><br />An hour into the January 31 trip, a 17-year-old girl collapsed in the cabin, and had to receive CPR. A second passenger also fainted, followed by Pinkerton, and then a fourth and final person.<br /><br />Cabin crew had to perform CPR and bust out huge oxygen tanks for the fallen passengers.<br /><br />Pinkerton himself needed an oxygen mask, and claimed he went into shock and started shaking.<br /><br />The 27-year-old says passengers feared there was something wrong with the plane – that there wasn't enough oxygen. He blames the airline for the "flight from hell" and is demanding compensation. <br /><br />But in a statement to the Independent, Edinburgh Airport denies any fault with the aircraft, and confirmed that cabin crew called ahead to request medical assistance upon landing.<br /><br />The plane touched down in Edinburgh normally and was met by medics, who provided treatment for the four victims of the fainting spells.
