A Delta flight from Detroit to Amsterdam early Sunday morning was diverted to Manchester, England after smoke starting billowing in the cabin.

We're told a Samsung tablet got stuck underneath a seat cover and started smoking.

The flight was grounded for two hours for crews to replace the seat, but thankfully no one was hurt.

The FAA said the device is not the Samsung phone currently under recall because of a faulty battery.
