Boeing 737 Diverted After Passengers Get Sick from Odor on Board

Early yesterday morning, United Flight 1675 from Baltimore-Washington International to San Francisco International was diverted to Washington Dulles International after a strong odor in the cabin caused passengers to fall ill. On arrival into Washington, D.C., emergency medical and rescue personal transported a number of passengers to local hospitals.

The plane was a Boeing 737, and this is not the first such incident with this type of aircraft.
