A Swiss International Air Lines Boeing 777-300ER passenger plane flying from Chicago to Zurich had to make an emergency landing on the Azores island of Terceira on Tuesday morning due to a strong chemical smell in the cabin. The crew sent out a distress call and landed safely around 6:30 AM local time. About five passengers and one crew member were examined medically as a precaution after they had symptoms such as irritated eyes, nausea or headache. The rest of the passengers remained unharmed. A replacement flight from Zurich was requested to pick up the stranded passengers and crew.
