Hydraulic fluid
leaked into the auxiliary power unit causing smoke in the cabin
of American Airlines Flight 1658 to Chicago, which caused the
141 passengers and five crew members to leave the airplane by
emergency slides and exits, according to the airline.
Three people suffered minor injuries. The passengers went to
Chicago on another aircraft, it said.
In the other incident at the airport, a landing gear tire caught
fire shortly after Spirit Airlines Flight 407 landed from
Orlando, Florida, the airport said.
The fire was quickly extinguished and all passengers evacuated
the plane safely at the gate, according to the airport.
(Refiled to fix typo in first paragraph; changes "lead" to
"led".)
