  • Several passengers take ill on flight from US Virgin Islands to Charlotte, NC - strange smell detected



    Emergency and fire crews responded to a major North Carolina airport after about a dozen passengers and crewmembers on a flight from the U.S. Virgin Islands complained of sickness. Seven US Airways crewmembers were taken from Charlotte-Douglas International Airport Saturday night after they complained of headaches and nausea. The crewmembers had been onboard a plane that had just arrived from St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Five passengers from that flight were treated on the scene. Shortly after the plane took off from St. Thomas, crewmembers noticed a slight odor on board and alerted authorities in Charlotte. Investigators are working to determine what caused the odor, and the plane has been taken out of service.
