Flight Forced to Land After Strange Smell Fills Cabin

Anadolu / Anadolu via Getty Images A Delta flight headed to Orlando, Florida, was diverted to another city and met at the gate by fire crews after a “smoky odor” was detected on board. The flight took off from Minneapolis, Minnesota, at about 6:40 p.m. Sunday and landed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at about 8 p.m. after the flight crew declared an emergency and asked air traffic control for priority handling. The plane landed without incident. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the smell, which is still being investigated. “After a smoky odor was detected on Delta Flight 2309 from Minneapolis (MSP) to Orlando (MCO), the flight crew followed established procedures to divert to Milwaukee (MKE),” Delta told People magazine in a statement. “Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people, and we apologize for their delay in travel.” Read it at People Read more at The Daily Beast.
