Over 200 Passengers Evacuate Flight on Snowy Tarmac

More than 200 people were forced to evacuate a Delta flight in Atlanta on Friday morning amid a polar vortex that brought subfreezing temperatures and snowy conditions to the southern United States. Though, the reason for the evacuation was reportedly due to an engine issue, not the weather. 

The 201 passengers were seen exiting the Boeing 757 via inflatable slides onto the snowy tarmac of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport just after 9:00 a.m., in photos and video that have since surfaced online.
