An overheated Samsung device created smoke that caused a plane to be evacuated at Louisville International Airport on Wednesday, an official said. The smoke prompted Southwest Airlines to evacuate the plane before it departed for Baltimore, Louisville Metro Arson Capt. U.S. safety regulators announced a formal recall last month of Samsung's Galaxy Note7 smartphone after a spate of fires led to injuries and property damage. Southwest warns on its website that passengers with the Samsung device must carry them on the plane instead of checking them in luggage. The advisory does not apply to phones that have a green battery icon, which, according to Samsung, indicates that the phone is a post-recall model.
