A Delta Air Lines flight bound for South Carolina was forced to return to Atlanta on Monday morning after “haze” filled the cabin — just two days after a hauntingly similar mishap diverted another Delta flight to Los Angeles.
Delta Flight 876 was in the air with 99 passengers and crew on board around 8:30 a.m. Monday when the pilot turned the plane around and landed back at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Everyone on board was evacuated on emergency slides, Fox5 in Atlanta reported.
No injuries were reported after the Boeing 717 was back on the ground.
But the incident marks the third recent incident on Delta flights, including an Airbus A350-900 bound for Australia had to return to Los Angeles on Saturday after smoke was detected on board with 162 passengers.
Last week, another Delta flight flipped upside-down and burst into flames after landing at Toronto Pearson Airport in a shocking caught-on-video accident.
Miraculously, all crew and passengers on that flight, which had departed Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, survived the frightening crash.
