MIAMI - An American Airlines flight departing from Miami was forced to make an emergency landing.

The flight was forced to return to the airport after multiple passengers became sick.

American Airlines said the flight was bound for Barbados but had to return after a chemical odor seeped through the plane from inside a passenger's carry-on luggage.

The plane landed safely and all passengers were offered hotel accommodations. The flight is scheduled to take off Thursday.
