A “smoking laptop computer” which was reported by the crew of a JetBlue flight after it had landed at New York’s John F. Kennedy Worldwide Airport on Saturday evening prompted a large evacuation of the airplane, officers mentioned.
The Federal Aviation Administration informed CBS Information in a press release that the crew of JetBlue Flight No. 662 from Barbados “reported a smoking laptop computer within the cabin after touchdown.” The fireplace was reported simply after 9 p.m. native time, in keeping with FDNY.
Port Authority personnel evacuated 167 individuals from the airplane utilizing emergency slides, FDNY mentioned, including that 5 individuals had been handled for minor accidents.
A person who was seated within the first row informed CBS New York that the airplane’s captain jumped into motion when the fireplace was found.
“The captain got here flying out of the cabin,” Sean Weed informed CBS New York. “He grabbed a fireplace extinguisher, and was doing like an O. J. Simpson over the seats and passengers. The man was superb, and put the fireplace out. It was an entire zoo.”
The precise trigger and circumstances of the fireplace had been unclear.
