American Airlines Passengers Evacuate Onto Runway After Cabin Haze Forces Emergency Landing

Passengers on an American Eagle flight to Philadelphia evacuated onto the runway at Lambert St Louis International Airport (STL) on Saturday after their aircraft made an emergency landing shortly after takeoff. Flight AA5089 — operated by American Airlines subsidiary PSA Airlines — turned back after oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling and a haze filled the cabin about 15 minutes into the flight.
