US: Delta Passengers Forced To Evacuate Plane In Atlanta

In yet another flight incident, a Delta Air Lines flight was forced to return to Atlanta, and passengers evacuated after a smoky haze filled cabin.

Delta Flight 876 with 99 passengers and crew on board headed to South Carolina was forced to turn around and landed back at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. There were no reported injuries.

Everyone was evacuated on emergency slides. A footage taken before the plane returned to Atlanta shows passengers covering their noses inside the hazy cabin.

“The flight crew followed procedures to return to Atlanta when haze inside the aircraft was observed after departure,” a Delta rep said in a statement. The Federal Aviation Administration said it would investigate.

Two days ago another Delta flight to Los Angeles was diverted after a similar incident. It is already known that another Delta flight crash landed and turned upside down in Toronto Canada.
