A SkyWest flight from West Virginia to Chicago made an emergency landing in Dayton, Ohio, after passengers reported a burning smell and activated smoke alarms. The incident forced the crew to land the plane, deploy oxygen masks, and evacuate all passengers.
The flight left West Virginia International Yeager Airport on Monday evening before making an emergency landing in Dayton , OH.
