From the Chron:Flight TOM643 departed Cancun at 5.20pm on Tuesday and was flying over Jacksonville when it is believed smoke was visible on board the aircraft.One passenger wrote on social media that they were met at the airport in Orlando by "around 30 firefighters" who began investigating the plane.But due to immigration restrictions at Orlando Sanford, passengers were forced to remain on the stationary aircraft for around five hours until it was deemed safe to fly again.TUI has said it hopes passengers will be on their way again on Wednesday evening, but a departure time is still to be confirmed."Once the technical issue was resolved, the captain made the decision to return to Cancun where customers were provided with all inclusive hotel accommodation. The flight is due to depart today.
