The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating an incident this week aboard a Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City in which a cabin pressurization problem with the Boeing 737-900ER aircraft caused a number of passengers to bleed from the nose and ears.

Something like that has nothing to do with Boeing. That's a pure Delta maintenance issue.

Yikes. Salt Lake is one of Delta's hubs. Flew in and out of there a lot when we lived in Sandy, UT. Never experienced that

Something strange about the effects that passengers experienced. Just not what one would expect from a normal pressurization problem.

The "strange" may be from how it was reported in the media. If we accept the article at face value, only a few of the passengers were affected, which would make no sense at all. The article only talked about the passengers who experienced or reported more severe problems.
Nothing in the article gives any sort of details such as whether the cabin pressurization system never worked at all or if it failed in flight (from the quick return to the point of origin, I infer that it never worked at all, but that's just a guess).
Overall, I'd say that we won't know anything useful about what happened from the main stream media.
