FARGO, N.D. — A Continental Airlines flight from Seattle to Newark, N.J., had to land in Fargo when an overheated oven sent smoke into the cabin, delaying the flight about eight hours.
Firefighting crews from the North Dakota Air National Guard responded and determined the cause of the smoke after the Boeing 737 landed about 5 p.m. Thursday.
Passenger Sarina Ziv said it was a scary incident, but the plane’s crew handled it well.
Continental spokeswoman Susannah Thurston said the plane left Fargo shortly before 1 a.m. today and arrived in Newark about 4:30 a.m. She said none of the 160 passengers were injured.
