Boeing 787 Dreamliner makes emergency landing in Glasgow Hundreds of passengers were forced to evacuate a Polish plane after the fire alarm started going off and prompted an emergency landing at Glasgow Airport. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner was en route to Warsaw from Chicago when the flight crew received a warning from the firefighting system in the luggage hold. More than 247 passengers and 12 crew were on board the LOT Polish Airlines flight when the crew declared the emergency over the Atlantic Ocean. It is not known what triggered the warning system and there were no reports of fire or smoke within the Dreamliner, a model that has been grounded in the past over safety fears. Glasgow Airport spokesman Brian McClean told News the landing was made at the request of the captain and the airport declared a full emergency as a precautionary measure.
