I will find a link. Will post more when I know more. On channel 4, LA station on Directv, a passenger plane was shown grounded, surrounded by emergency vehicles.

1. Flight 268 - LAX to London--grounded in Vegas...
smoke in cockpit. Looks like nothing spectacular. It was grounded not long after takeoff.

2. Sounds Like A Cockpit Electrical Fire
This is not uncommon and it will definately ground the plane until the problem is found and fixed.

Fire in an airplane is not to be messed with.

The procedure in almost all cases is to get the plane on the ground as soon as possible.

4. there's a lot of people on a plane, and only so many can fit in any one
vehicle.

5. These vehicles weren't shuttles but cop cars with lights flashing.
