Monday, September 23, 2024 A JetBlue flight en route from New York to San Diego was forced to make an emergency landing on Saturday night after pilots received alerts indicating potential smoke or fire in the cargo hold. The aircraft, initially cruising at 36,000 feet, rapidly descended to 4,250 feet in under ten minutes before safely landing at Salina Regional Airport. Describing the experience as an “absolute plummet,” a passenger shared on Reddit, “The pilot spoke to us about 90 minutes after landing.
He mentioned they were unsure if there was any fire or smoke, but since the suppression system activated, the plane needs to go to Boston for inspection and cannot carry passengers. The crew has already departed.” Thankfully, no injuries have been reported.
