Passengers forced to evacuate Qantas plane after cabin fills with smoke
Qantas passengers evacuated using emergency slides at Sydney Airport after their plane cabin filled up with smoke, shortly after it was grounded due to a"hydraulic issue".
About 30 minutes into the flight, the captain announced the plane had to turn around due to mid-flight hydraulic issues. "When we got back to the gate, the cabin started to fill with smoke and basically the captain started screaming 'Evacuate!'," the 20-year-old said.
