NEW YORK (Reuters) – The electrical smell that caused a Southwest Airlines Co flight to make an unexpected landing Sunday was caused b
y a coffee maker in the back of the aircraft, a company spokesman said on Monday.
The coffee maker was in the back galley of the Boeing 737 plane. The aircraft was examined and put back into service by 12:30 p.m. EDT (1630 GMT) Sunday, said Southwest spokesman Chris Mainz.
"Anything that might have touched the burner might have caused the electrical smell," Mainz said. He added that the problem was "fairly unusual," although it was not the first time it has happened.
Flight 693 bound for Orlando, Florida, departed from Bradley International Airport in Connecticut at 7:21 a.m. EDT Sunday. The plane, which held 131 passengers and 5 crew members, landed at Long Island Islip MacArthur Airport shortly before 8 a.m.

On Thursday, Federal Reserve Chairmen launched a “robust defense of its independence.” Vice Chairman Donald Kohn said that allowing sensitive decisions to be politically criticized would cause higher interest rates and hurt the USA’s credit rating. 
Kohn warned the House of Representatives that if there was removal of power of monetary independence of the Federal Reserve would cause interest rates to raise due to inflation fears from investors.
The Federal Reserve has felt Ron Paul’s bill, hr 1207, as a threat to its independence. The bill would audit and bring transparency to an otherwise secretive entity. Paul’s bill has about 250 cosponsors.
