Smoke forces JetBlue flight back to Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico
Ports Authority director Alvaro Pilar said Flight 1762 was en
route to Fort Lauderdale when it returned to Puerto Rico's
international airport shortly before 5 a.m. (4 a.m. EST; 0800 GMT)
Saturday.
He said passengers evacuated the plane through emergency exits,
but no one was injured. They were then placed on another plane that
has already arrived in Florida.
Emergency officials did not find smoke in the cabin but are
still investigating.
