2 Marshall women on flight to Las Vegas that had problems with fumes

At least two Marshall women were on a Southwest Airlines flight to Las Vegas Thursday, Feb. 5, when fumes entered the cabin, causing discomfort and forcing the crew to activate oxygen masks, according to Las Vegas media reports.

Flight 756 landed safely, but six people, including members of the crew, were taken to hospitals for treatment, according to a Las Vegas television station report.

Of the 116 passengers aboard, two -- Sharon Mills and Donna Zahn -- were from Marshall. Mills and Zahn were both interviewed by Fox television in Las Vegas after the ordeal was over.

About 20 minutes before the plane landed passengers began noticing a strange odor that made breathing difficult.

A Las Vegas police official said the odor was caused by an electrical problem.
