Delta flight forced to return to Atlanta airport after 'haze' fills cabin

Delta Air Lines Flight 876 landed safely at the airport at around 9 a.m. after the crew reported possible smoke in the flight deck while heading to Columbia, South Carolina, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement.

The Boeing 717 aircraft had just taken off about 30 minutes earlier, carrying 94 passengers and five crew members.

Video taken from inside the aircraft shows the passenger cabin filling up with what appeared to be smoke. After landing safely on a runway, the video shows passengers using emergency slides and exits above the wings to leave the aircraft.

Delta said its teams arranged ground transportation and rebooking for passengers.

The FAA said it is investigating the incident.
