A "smoking laptop" which was reported by the crew of a JetBlue flight after it had landed at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport on Saturday night prompted a massive evacuation of the plane, officials said.
The Federal Aviation Administration told CBS News in a statement that the crew of JetBlue Flight No. 662 from Barbados "reported a smoking laptop in the cabin after landing." The fire was reported just after 9 p.m. local time, according to FDNY.
Port Authority personnel evacuated 167 people from the plane using emergency slides, FDNY said, adding that five people were treated for minor injuries.
