CHICAGO -- A woman doing her nails caused a United Airlines flight to be diverted on Saturday.
Authorities said United Flight 787 from Chicago to San Diego landed in Denver after the flight crew detected a funny odor. The FAA said several containers of the hazardous substance acetone were on board but added that none of them leaked.
Later, it was determined that the odor came from a passenger who was doing her nails on the flight. It was not immediately clear whether she was using nail polish or remover, but both contain acetone.
Nail polish is allowed on commercial flights.
