ATLANTA — Passengers on a Delta Air Lines plane evacuated via emergency slides after an engine problem, as the plane was preparing to take off from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport amid the winter storm on Friday morning.
Hartsfield-Jackson said four passengers reported minor injuries, with one transported for medical treatment and three others treated on the scene.
The crew aborted takeoff at about 9:05 a.m. due to a reported engine issue, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA said it will investigate.
The evacuation was from a Boeing 757-300 for flight 2668 to Minneapolis-St. Paul. There were 201 customers, two pilots and four flight attendants on board, Delta said.
Passengers slid down the emergency slides on the snowy runway, and then were shuttled to the terminal, according to Delta.
