What the smell?
A Las Vegas-bound Alaska Airlines flight was forced to suddenly land and evacuate passengers in Portland, Ore. Wednesday, when a “strong odor” was detected in the plane’s cockpit, officials said.
Flight 757 was taking off at Portland International Airport at around 9:50 a.m local time when the odd-smelling “fumes” forced the plane to immediately land, according to FOX12.
Fire crews rushed passengers off the Boeing 737-800 and determined there was no blaze, Port of Portland officials told the outlet.
Nine people asked for a medical evaluation but no serious injuries were reported.
