SAN FRANCISCO — About 400 passengers were evacuated from a United Airlines 747 at San Francisco International Airport on Sunday after the pilot reported smoke in the cabin, authorities said.
A few people suffered minor injuries while jumping down the plane’s emergency chutes, said airport spokesman Ron Wilson.
The smoke came from an overheated battery, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
