AA flight diverted to PBI
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!!

i had just watched the documentary on the canadian dc-9 that landed in Cincy with smoke in the cabin (with subsequent fireball on the ground) yesterday....which took me back to the several smoke in the tube scenerios in the mighty orion....
smoke in the tube is nothing to mess around with...immediate emergency if the source is unknown IMO. If I cant pull a breaker to make it stop within a couple minutes of smelling smoke...we are done!
