Canada's busiest airport filled with smoke Sunday evening
Paramedics said one woman was taken to hospital in stable condition while another was treated at the scene and released.
Police said no major injuries were reported and crews were working to clean up damage from smoke and water. Meantime, dozens of inbound flights were stranded on the tarmac for hours as crews worked to ensure the terminal was safe for re-entry."Will be a long night at YYZ,'' Heather Bailey wrote on Twitter.
Duncan Smit, a Dutch businessman who had been in Vancouver for a conference, told The Canadian Press that his flight home to Amsterdam had been delayed by several hours. "There was a lot of smoke in part of the terminal,'' Smit said in a phone interview from his gate at Pearson, where he had been waiting since Sunday morning after arriving from Vancouver."Those three, four, five hours that I have to wait, well so be it. I'll get another cup of coffee,'' he said.
