Several passengers told KPTV that the plane's oxygen masks were deployed immediately, and that several people used the masks while waiting for the plane to land at PDX.
Another passenger told the station that a child had to be held in his seat by his mother and that people lost their phones being sucked out of the plane.
It is not yet clear whether any of the passengers were injured in the incident.
