Emergency Evacuation in Cedar Rapids

By | September 11, 2006

Passengers on Allegiant Air Flight 436 from Las Vegas to Cedar Rapids, Iowa Sunday night were evacuated on the plane’s emergency slides. The plane was taxiing to the terminal when smoke began to fill the cabin. The slides were deployed only 250 yards from the terminal due to the unknown nature of the situation, and two passengers were injured. The injured passengers were taken to Cedar Rapids Hospital.
