LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles made an emergency landing in New Mexico, the airline said today, when the plane's cabin appeared to fill with smoke.
The plane took off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday when a smoky order started to fill the cabin, according to media reports.
"Someone started yelling there was a fire, but the flight attendants (in a very professional way) told everyone to chill, it wasn't a fire, and keep seated," Mason Weiner, a passenger on the flight, told NBC News on Tuesday.
Crew members on Flight 2846 observed performance issues with one of the plane's two engines. The plane made an emergency landing at Albuquerque International Sunport in New Mexico, a spokesman for Delta told NBC News.
Weiner said Delta ordered Chick-fil-A for everyone on the plane while they waited for a new plane to complete the trip to LAX.
