A mysterious odor on a JetBlue flight from San Francisco to Boston forced pilots to make an unscheduled landing early Friday morning. JetBlue Flight 734 landed safely in Chicago amidst heavy fog at about 3 a.m. Friday morning, around 20 minutes after the issue was first reported. There were no injuries reported. Passengers told NewsCenter 5 the odor emanated from the bathroom. “They just kept saying it’s a strong smell,” said Angela Barany, one of the passengers. “And to me, if I smelled anything it smelled like bathroom, you know, like the chemicals that keep the bathroom fresh is what I was smelling.” This is not the first time a JetBlue plane has been forced to ground over unpleasant scents. In 2017, a flight out of Boston was forced to land in Buffalo, New York, after fumes on board made passengers sick. The FAA is investigating Friday’s incident.
