MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- An Atlantic Southeast Airlines flight carrying 50 passengers bound for Gulfport, Miss., diverted to Mobile after a cockpit warning light indicated smoke in the plane's cargo hold. The plane, which had taken off from Atlanta, landed at Mobile Regional Airport Friday. No smoke was found in the hold, and all the passengers disembarked without incident, said airport spokesman Anderson Screws. The passengers were bused to Gulfport courtesy of Delta Air Lines, ASA's parent company.
