AA Flight 1738, a B-757, was diverted to PBI on route from SJU to PHL due to smoke in the cabin & cockpit. From what I'm hearing on FoxNews...Channel 29, seven people, including the FO were taken to a nearby hospital for smoke inhilation. Reports say that the smoke was so thick in the cockpit that the FO had to break a window.

Glad that no one was seriously injured. ARFF is doing their investigation.

Also in an unrelated incident, a twin-engine Commander left the active (9L)for the infield earlier today as well. It was reported that only one person was on board and she, the pilot, walked away without a scratch!!
