    Horizon Jet Emergency Landing in Medford Oregon

    Contact Photographer Thomas Piskol

    What: Horizon Airlines CRJ700 Bombardier en route from Portland to Los Angeles
    Where: Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport
    When: August 14, 2009 9:30 AM (Departing at 11:05 AM)
    Who: 60 passengers, 4 crew
    Why: The official report said that the flight crew declared an emergency because of smoke in the cabin. Horizon Air says that cabin temperatures were too high and smoke never appeared in the cabin–that the plane landed for the comfort of the passengers, who debarked from the plane into the terminal as the plane was being worked on.

    No explanation has been offered regarding the discrepancy of the explanations: (smoke vs no smoke.) With no further information, one can speculate that the incident may be akin to a home fire alarm going off due to the alarm alerting to ions in the air when the dryer is running.

    The customer service, of course, contrasts with the recent Continental plane grounded overnight at a closed airport, where the passengers were held in the plane until the terminal opened at 6: 30 am.
