HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Southwest Airlines evacuated a plane at Hobby Airport when the cabin started smelling like smoke.

There were 81 people on the Memphis-bound plane.

The plane was inspected and taken out of service. The passengers were put on a different plane. They arrived in Memphis about two hours late.
