Flight makes emergency landing after passengers feel ill

A flight from Denver to Los Angeles was diverted to Grand Junction, Colorado, on Wednesday after a number of passengers reported feeling ill.

United Airlines spokeswoman Jennifer Dohm said the crew of the Airbus A320 deployed oxygen masks and decided to land.

There were reports of smoke in the cockpit and cabin, but Grand Junction Fire Department spokesman Shawn Montgomery said firefighters saw no smoke when they entered the plane. All of the passengers were able to walk off the plane, and one person was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

United Airlines said Flight 447 carried a crew of six and 150 passengers.
