An American Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Los Angeles after smoke was reported in the cabin, local media reported. The smoke report prompted the emergency landing, local broadcaster Fox 11 said, adding that some passengers felt sick and requested medical treatment. Airline spokesman Ross Feinstein said the flight, which was carrying 125 passengers from San Jose, California to Phoenix was diverted to Los Angeles due to a "mechanical issue" and landed safely. Feinstein said a maintenance team was checking the aircraft, an Airbus A319. <br/>
