ABC News reported:
Delta passengers were forced to evacuated via slides at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Monday after haze or smoke was observed in the plane, according to the airline and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Delta Flight 876 was en route from Atlanta to Columbia, South Carolina, on Monday morning when “haze inside the aircraft was observed,” a Delta spokesperson said. The FAA said “the crew reported possible smoke in the flightdeck.”
The Boeing 717 aircraft — which had 94 passengers, two pilots and three flight attendants on board — returned to Atlanta and landed safely, according to Delta and the FAA.
Atlanta Fire Rescue helped passengers deplane, according to the airport.
“There is a moderate impact to operations at this time,” according to the airport.
Last Monday a Delta plane crash-landed on a snowy runway at Toronto Pearson Airport in Canada.
The flight arrived from Minneapolis when it crashed, landed, and flipped upside down.
Dashcam video shows the plane coming in for a hard landing before flipping upside down and turning into a fireball.
All 80 people aboard survived. At least 18 people were injured, 3 critically, including one child.
The plane crash is still under investigation.
