Spirit Airlines Flight Turns Around After Passenger Mistakenly Yells FIRE
Flight make a U-turn after a passenger accidentally yelled “fire.”
An early Monday morning Spirit Airlines flight from Miami had to make a U-turn after a passenger accidentally yelled “fire.”
No fire, according to the airline, was present on Flight 3152. After takeoff, a passenger reportedly spotted moisture coming from the air conditioning system, thought it was smoke, and yelled “fire.” In order to assure there was no fire, the flight crew went through all essential checks, and out of an abundance of caution, the jet returned to the airport.
After the plane landed, law enforcement and fire personnel met it, cleared it, and it took off again for Boston. The security of their customers and staff is their top priority, according to Spirit.
