Plane evacuated at O'Hare after smoke report

Tribune staff report

December 15, 2007

About 260 passengers had to exit a United Airlines jet
that arrived at O'Hare International Airport from
Shanghai this afternoon after a report of smoke in the
passenger cabin, officials said.

United Flight 836 was carrying 273 passengers and crew
when the captain ordered the emergency evacuation of
the Boeing 777 using chutes, according to the Chicago
Department of Aviation.

The incident occurred about 3:45 p.m., officials said,
adding that the aircraft landed normally.

One passenger complained of back pain and was
transported to a hospital, said city aviation
spokesman Gregg Cunningham.
