An Air Transat flight was forced to divert Saturday morning to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey after reports of a possible fire in the cargo hold, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Passengers on board the Boeing 737 -- which flew out of Montreal and was bound for Fort Lauderdale, Florida -- evacuated onto the airport's runway via emergency slides, according to FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen. Airport firefighters responded to the scene. The incident prompted the Newark airport to shut down all runways briefly, according to its Twitter page, but flights resumed soon after.Emergency at Newark Airport.— R.J.
On the plus side I've finally figured out what was setting the fire in America's belly.
Wow old airplane must be taken out of daily flights or trump Gov shut down caused lower maintenance
Another boeing 737..... i see a conspiracy and no one is talking about. At least two crashes in six months....
I'm really glad everyone's ok,but crew members should really be more careful where they set their joints down,they're pretty hot on the tip.
😰
Ohhh
Galaxy S10 is out?)
Plane on its way from Montreal, Canada to Florida when pilots noticed smoke and requested diverting to Newark. As for the rest you know everyone came down the shute safely.
oopsi !!!
Thank God for safe landing; at least no casualty.
On route from YUL To FLL smoke in the cargo hold all pax evacuated safely from the emergency chutes. B737-800 NG.😎🛬🇨🇦
I used to work in flight catering and have stocked many an Air Transat plane. My guess is someone decided to dig into their luggage and cook their own food.
Thank God for their safety !
Thank God no crash.
Let me guess another lithium battery ?

Ex-fighter pilot Sen. Martha McSally says Air Force officer raped herThe Arizona Republican, a 26-year military veteran, made the disclosure at a Senate hearing on the armed services' efforts to prevent sexual assaults and improve the response when they occur. Name him.... Why does this seem to be an opportunistic and rather misplaced plea for sympathy/understanding? She's a firm Trump supporter and he's a self-admitted sexual predator. I have a hard time believing she feels real empathy for other victims. Disclosure? I think you mean allegation.
