Delta Flight
Smoke-Crammed Cabin Forces Emergency Touchdown, Evac!!!
Revealed
It’s one other tough day within the skies for Delta — this time, a airplane’s cabin full of thick smoke mid-flight, resulting in an emergency touchdown and evacuation of everybody onboard.
The Boeing 717 plane was en path to Columbia, South Carolina Monday morning when “haze inside the aircraft” was reported, forcing a right away return to Atlanta, with all 94 passengers evacuated by way of emergency inflatable slides.
One passenger’s video reveals smoke permeating the cabin within the mid-air flight, with everybody holding garments over their faces to guard themselves. Later footage reveals them safely on the tarmac after debarking.
There have been two pilots and three flight attendants aboard — and all have been secure and sound, with Atlanta Hearth Rescue helping with the deplaning.
A spokesperson for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Worldwide Airport advised TMZ … “Airfield operations are normal at this time.”
The Federal Aviation Administration is now investigating the incident.
This newest scare provides to a collection of unsettling airline incidents — Only a week in the past, one other Delta airplane flipped the wrong way up at a Toronto airport after touchdown, and there have been a number of different high-profile crashes this 12 months.
With all that, it’s no marvel passengers are feeling a bit jittery about air journey proper now.
