Firefighters found no fire and couldn’t find the source of an electrical odor that caused a Lufthansa flight from San Francisco to Munich to divert Thursday night to the Seattle airport.

KIRO 7 reports two crew members and a passenger were treated by medics for breathing trouble after the plane landed about 11:30 p.m. There were 323 passengers and 16 crew members on board the Airbus A340.

Flight 459 was canceled and the airline said the passengers would be re-booked after an overnight stay in Seattle.
