MORRISVILLE, N.C. â€" Officials say the pilot of an American
Airlines flight declared an emergency after someone found an
"unidentifiable substance" that turned out to be talcum powder.
Raleigh-Durham International Airport spokesman Andrew Sawyer said late
Wednesday night that emergency responders determined the material was
powder.
American spokeswoman Andrea Huguely says Flight 1972 was already headed
to Raleigh-Durham airport from Chicago Wednesday afternoon. Huguely says
the MD-80 was on its approach when the emergency was declared and the
plane landed safely at 9:26 p.m.
Huguely says the 131 passengers and crew of six were fine. The aircraft
was kept away from the gate until a hazmat crew could examine the
substance.
