It all happened as the aircraft, which had departed from Stockholm, was flying over Greenland with 254 people on board.

According to a statement from the airline, the flight did not continue to Miami because the airline didn't have the resources to properly inspect the aircraft upon landing.

The plane was rerouted to Copenhagen instead.

No severe injuries were reported.
