Phila.-bound plane makes emergency landing at BWI

Inquirer Staff Writer

A Southwest Airlines flight from Florida to Philadelphia was forced to
land in Baltimore last night because of smoke in the cabin, an airline
spokesman said.

No one was hurt, and the 125 passengers were transferred to another
plane and were expected to land in Philadelphia International Airport
around midnight, according to Southwest Airlines spokesman Paul
Flaningan.

Flight 3858 originated out of Fort Lauderdale and was headed straight
to Philadelphia when crew members and some passengers noticed smoke in
the aft galley of the Boeing 737, Flaningan said.

The plane was diverted to Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood
Marshall Airport and landed there at 10:05 p.m., he said.

The plane will stay grounded until it is thoroughly examined, but it
is believed that a coffeemaker short-circuited, he said.
