Passengers aboard a Delta Airlines commuter flight from Los Angeles were forced to quickly evacuate the plane late Wednesday night at Oakland International Airport after smoke began filling the cabin, officials said.
Delta Airlines media relations spokesman Russell Cason said the CRJ 900 aircraft with 75 passengers and four crew on board landed at Oakland at 9:17 p.m. when it ran into a problem.
A passenger told KTVU that as the pilot applied the brakes after landing, smoke could be smelled in the cabin.
The plane taxied to the gate where a metal staircase was pushed to the doors and the passengers ordered to quickly exit. A short time later, passengers were allowed to re-board the flight and retrieve their belongings.
Cason said airline mechanics were investigating where the smoke may have come from.
No one was injured in the emergency evacuation.
