A Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta to Columbia, South Carolina, was forced to return to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport shortly after takeoff on Monday morning due to an unusual haze filling the cabin. Passengers on Flight DL876 reported that the haze became noticeable soon after departure, prompting the pilot to make the decision to return for safety reasons. Delta Airlines confirmed in a statement that the aircraft experienced a minor mechanical issue that resulted in the haze, though they did not specify the exact cause. Passengers were rerouted to another flight and assured that the safety of their passengers is always of utmost importance. One passenger, Tom Simmons, expressed concerns: ‘It was really frightening. You don’t expect something like this to happen on a flight.’ Delta has stated that they are working to investigate the issue and ensure that the aircraft is safe for future flights. Prior to the incident, the flight took off at approximately 9:00 AM and returned to the airport around 9:30 AM, with no reported injuries among the 150 passengers and crew members on board.
