A Delta plane that took off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta to Columbia, South Carolina on Monday was forced to turn back and make an emergency landing after the air in the cabin was filled with what seemed like fog or odorless smoke.
The affected flight was Delta Flight 876, a Boeing 717 aircraft that had 94 passengers, two pilots, and three flight attendants. The crew would later report “possible smoke in the flight deck”, as reported by the FAA.
A video that was captured by one of the passengers showed them seated and covering their noses – the emergency air mask not deployed, as the visually choking mist/smoke filled the air. Another footage showed them disembarking through the tail of the plane using a slide and assisted by the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department.
While the cause of the air mishap is been investigated, social media rants suspect that it could be a malfunction/leak of stored chemtrails that was supposed to be released in the clouds. Reports of chemicals being let out in the skies by airplanes for unknown purposes including artificial weather modification are widely reported on Twitter, now X.
These chemtrails are visible thick white trails that look like mist in the sky but are chemicals or biological agents purposely released by an aircraft, and are different from contrails which are trails of condensed water normally released by an aircraft or rocket as they move in the sky.
The latest incident again raises huge concerns about air safety following a bomb scare aboard an American Airlines flight from New York to Delhi that forced fighter jets to escort it till it landed safely in Rome Fiumicino Airport, in Italy. The alarm on Flight 292 was later discovered to be “non-credible”.
The AA bomb scare was received via email. Its destination country, India, has been bedeviled with many cases of false bomb alerts in recent times. Over 500 fake bomb pranks/messages were received in the last two weeks and 999 others were received in 2024.
