All flights in and out of Newark Airport were temporarily halted Saturday morning after a flight from Canada to Florida diverted there with a possible fire in the cargo hold, officials said.

Maybe they were non-smokers who got booked on the smoking plane by accident ;-)

I thought we got rid of Smoking Planes back in 1988.
I certainly would get off a Smoking Plane with inflight smoking any way I could, including using a passenger slide.

I thought they banned planes from smoking in public?

May not have gotten rid of smoking planes, but looks like we have gotten rid of editors.

Did they have a choice between smoking and non-smoking planes? If so, they chose poorly.

If you think a fire at sea is bad wait until you experience one in flight.

There are special designated “smoking planes” for those who still indulge.

Had to read that headline 3 times. What brand of cigs was the plane smoking?

I flew to Madrid from Miami in 1991 and there were smokers on that flight.
