Fumes lead to plane woe

A FLORIDA-bound flight minutes from takeoff from Quebec City had to be evacuated and 10 passengers were taken to hospital after fumes from de-icing seeped into the cabin.

Air Transat Flight 782 destined for Fort Lauderdale was at the de-icing station shortly before 11am local time when passengers complained of feeling faint.

Airport firefighters were called and the flight was emptied, with passengers returning to the terminal.

The aircraft was carrying 185 passengers.
