Smoky landing for WestJet Passengers in Nanaimo
Mar 21, 2018 | 7:46 AM
NANAIMO — Fifty-six WestJet passengers on a flight from Vancouver to Nanaimo had a terrifying arrival in that city when the cabin of their commuter plane filled with smoke shortly before landing.
The pilots declared an emergency and brought the plane down safely — and everyone got off without injury, but passenger Addison Becker says although there was calm as the plane touched down, the pushing and shoving started as the doors opened.
Becker describes the situation as “freaky.”
WestJet has said it is still investigating the cause of the smoke, which passengers said was thick throughout the cabin as the plane landed.
