\nA fire official says smoke that led to the evacuation of a plane at Louisville International Airport was caused by a Samsung device.<\/p>\n
Louisville Metro Arson Capt. Kevin Fletcher told news outlets that device overheated Wednesday morning and began to smoke, which led Southwest Airlines to evacuate the plane prior to departure.<\/p>\n
Airport authority spokeswoman Natalie Chaudoin said 75 passengers and crew members were evacuated. She says no one was injured.<\/p>\n
Fletcher says there was minor damage to the plane’s carpet where the device was dropped.<\/p>\n
U.S. safety regulators announced a formal recall last month of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 smartphone after a spate of fires led to injuries and property damage.<\/p>\n
Samsung said in a statement that it is working with authorities to recover the device and confirm the cause.
