Passengers huddle, many on cells, near tarmac at Dulles Airport
AC flight 7618 after emergency landing
Everyone is safe after an Air Canada Express flight from Toronto to Washington made an expedited landing at Dulles airport rather than its intended destination of Reagan International in the US capital. The time between the two is not great but the captain was taking no chances over what is said to be either smoke, or a burning smell, in the cockpit. Sky Regional, which operates Air Canada Express, says 63 passengers and four crew members were unharmed after exiting the plane on the tarmac at Dulles. The aircraft is believed to be a Brazilian-made Embraer 175.
