737 evacuated on landing
A AP report says that more than 100 people were evacuated from an Alaska Airlines 737 on Thursday because hazy smoke appeared in the cockpit shortly after the plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, officials said.
No major injuries were reported and the source of the smoke remained under investigation, authorities said.
The crew of Flight 529 from Los Angeles reported a potential landing gear problem 23 minutes before landing, but all appeared normal until “a light gray haze … not thick smoke” appeared on the flight deck five minutes after touchdown, said Mike Fergus, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman.
The pilot then ordered that evacuation chutes be deployed on the taxiway, Fergus said.
Two passengers reported minor injuries, such as twisted ankles, and the co-pilot was given “very precautionary medical attention” for smoke inhalation, said Paul McElroy, an airline spokesman.
The plane carried 103 passengers and a crew of five.
