Hawaiian Airlines flight makes emergency landing after e-cigarette scare
There was a scare in the air for 128 passengers aboard a Hawaiian Airlines flight when a light indicated there was smoke in the cargo area. The plane was on the way to Maui from Honolulu.
It made a safe landing on Maui yesterday. A spokesperson for the airline says when firefighters checked the cargo area, two bags appeared to be damaged by an e-cigarette in a passenger's checked luggage.
According to the Department of Transportation, vaping is a ground activity only! You can't do it on a plane. You can't even check an e-cigarette in your luggage! The DOT changed the rule late last year calling e-cigs a safety risk.
"I think it is a smart rule. It's better to be safe than sorry," said Ed Ka'anehe.
