Dolphins smarter than chimps
REYKJAVIK, Iceland, April 13 (UPI) -- An American Airlines plane made an emergency landing safely in Iceland Tuesday following complaints about fumes in the cabin, an airline spokesman said.
Airline spokesman Tim Smith said American Airlines Flight 49 was bound for Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, from the Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport when passengers complained about the fumes, CNN reported.
The plane, a Boeing 767-300, had 133 passengers and 12 crew on board, Smith said.
He said it was standard procedure for aircraft to be examined after reports of cabin fumes are made. Paramedics were available on the ground to treat anyone feeling ill, Smith said.
American Airlines is based in Dallas.
