Highly Distressing Incident: 189 Passengers Evacuated from Flight at Stockholm Airport Due to Cabin Smoke

189 passengers were evacuated from a smoke-filled Boeing 737 MAX 8 at Stockholm Airport, with no reported injuries.

The incident, captured on social media, showed a hurried escape via emergency slides as the aircraft, operated by Buzz (Ryanair's partner), prepared for a Krakow-bound flight.

The crew initially hesitated to open doors despite passengers’ cries, leading to a harrowing experience. Ryanair assured a thorough inspection and arranged an alternate flight, offering apologies and refreshments to inconvenienced travelers.

Separately, Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary was pie-attacked by climate activists in Brussels, as seen in a widely shared video.
