(Tucson, AZ Tuesday, February 8, 2016) A United Airlines Bombardier CRJ aircraft, operated by Skywest Airlines and carrying 77 passengers and crew was forced to make an emergency landing in Tucson, Arizona after acrid smoke and fumes filled the cockpit and cabin, forcing some passengers to evacuate the plane by jumping off the wings after the plane had safely landed.

The pilots of the aircraft, bound for Los Angeles’ LAX from Tucson, were forced to return to Tucson almost immediately after departure.

The scene on the ground after landing quickly became chaotic, but there were no injuries, hospitalizations, or fatalities immediately reported. Several mothers reported covering their baby’s and children’s faces with towels or clothing items to prevent them from inhaling the fumes.
