Smoke forces Porter plane to divert

A Porter Airlines flight carrying 66 passengers from Toronto to Washington was diverted when smoke entered the flight deck and cabin.

Airline spokesman Brad Cicero says the plane was diverted to Williamsport, Pa., after leaving Billy Bishop Airport at 8 a.m. Sunday.

He says the smoke was mainly in the flight deck, but that some was visible in the cabin.

The smoke was cleared out of the aircraft and it landed safely, he said. No one was injured.

Another plane was brought in to carry the passengers on their way to Washington.
