What is your alternate theory and what evidence supports it?

Based on what I've read http://foxct.com/2015/04/22/hartford...ng-in-buffalo/
It looks like several passengers besides the original one began to feel light headed and ill. I think that the Pilot reacted 100% correctly here.

I had this FA Crew on my flight from BDL to ORD yesterday morning. I was sitting in 1st Class and talking with the FA and he mentioned that they were to be on the ground for about 50 minutes then do the turn around back to BDL. What a bad day for them. But based on what I have read from the Hartford Courant everyone is doing okay now.
And I too have seen the FA strugggle with getting those doors shut and having to get the pilot come and pull that hammer down.

That would be condensation from the A/C system. It would be near impossible for water to enter the fuselage while pressurized in mid flight.

I find it odd that I have yet to see UA spokespeople out front. I know its a Skyways flight, but to 99% of the world who buys the tickety on UA website, check in with UA, sees a UA magazine in the seat back this is UA. Makes on wonder if they did not learn anything from the CO/Buffalo incident where CO was no where to be seen pointing to regional

Reuters says paramedics evaluated 3 passengers who appear to have lost consciousness.
Not sure how they tell that, but rather different than one. Even if the fish for breakfast (urp!) was bad.

ABC this morning speculated...
--Possible error in cabin pressurization - not pressurized to 8000 feet, but perhaps 10000 or 11000 feet. Alarm normally triggered when pressure is equivalent to 12000 feet or higher. Pilots didn't notice higher-but-not-yet-alarm-level pressure, but a few altitude-sensitive pax did. So pilots bolted for 10K feet even without a "low pressure" alarm.
--ABC also said the oxygen masks did NOT deploy.
