Smoke on flight deck forces SAS to land
Shortly after takeoff from Newark Airport outside New York gushed smoke out of the cockpit.
SAS plane, an Airbus 330, was on its way to Copenhagen, but was forced to land in Bangor in Maine.
The plane, which, according to news agency Ritzau had 261 passengers and eleven crew members, had not flown far when the cockpit suddenly was filled with smoke.
The pilots were forced to land at the international airport in Bangor in Maine, says the Bangor Daily News.
Landing in Bangor went smoothly and after a survey announced airport manager Tony Caruso that no one on board seemed poisoned by smoke.
The flight was canceled and we are now trying to arrange housing for the stranded passengers, says Caruso
