Passengers on a Delta flight from Detroit to Denver had to evacuate via slides due to smoke in the cabin.
Some passengers may have suffered minor injuries, including smoke inhalation, according to Delta. One passenger tweets, ” After landing fumes through the vents and fire. Feeling faint and sick. Baby was last one out!!! Emergency evacuation. Scariest thing ever.”
Passenger say the cabin filled with smoke as the plane landed.
“The oxygen masks never came down and people began to freak out,” according to another passenger. “The crew tried to keep calm and eventually called for an evacuation.”
The smoke was detected prior to the plane reaching the gate.
Delta says, “Delta flight 1854 from Detroit to Denver stopped on a taxiway where customers deplaned via slides and over-wing exits due to an observance of smoke in the cabin. Airport response vehicles met the aircraft out of an abundance of caution and customers were transported to the terminal via buses.
