A small fire prompted the emergency evacuation of Delta Air Lines flight 604 after it landed at Washington’s Seattle–Tacoma International Airport from Mexico on Monday evening, May 6.
Officials said a malfunction occurred when the airplane was plugged into the airport’s electric power, sparking a fire.
Video from a passenger named Phil shows people exiting the plane down inflatable slides that are deployed during emergencies. Phil told Storyful he was “among the few that managed to deplane normally before they started the emergency evacuation.”
According to local media, some passengers were already disembarking the aircraft when smoke began filling the Jetway. Credit: @philthelove via Storyful
