«Someone started yelling there was a fire, but the flight attendants (in a very professional way) told everyone to chill, it wasn’t a fire, and keep seated,» said Mason Weiner, a passenger on the flight told NBC News.

In addition to smoke in the cabin, flight crew members noted a performance problem with one of the aircraft’s two engines, so the pilots diverted the aircraft to Albuquerque International Sunport for an emergency landing.
