Hawaiian Airlines said in a statement tonight it was determined that “a seal failed in the aircraft’s left engine, causing oil to leak onto hot parts of the plane’s engine and air conditioning pressurization system, resulting in smoke in the cabin.” The airline said performance of the engine was not affected.
Passengers on a Hawaiian Airlines flight had to evacuate the plane from emergency slides this morning after it landed in Honolulu due to reports of smoke in the cargo hold and cabin.
All passengers and crew evacuated the aircraft and seven passengers were taken to hospitals with smoke inhalation symptoms, according to an airline official.
First responders met flight Hawaiian Airlines Flight 47, which had concluded a flight from Oakland, Calif., to Honolulu, on the runway at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.
Hawaiian Airlines said there were 184 passengers and seven crew aboard the plane, which landed at 11:36 a.m. shortly after an in-flight emergency was declared due to reports of smoke in the cargo hold and cabin.

Yeah, right, blame it on the seals..............
A penguin goes to pick up his car at the mechanic.
Mechanic says, “Well, looks like you blew a seal.”
Penguin says, “No No, that’s just ice cream.”
I got to ride the slide on Hawaiian back in 1991.
They put talc on the slide to make is slippery. All the passengers survived the emergency landing and were recognizable by the white skunk stripe down their backs.
Interesting.
