What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: the aircraft landed at Miami International Airport in Miami, Florida. While taxiing to the gate a flight attendant notified the flight crew that there was smoke in the cabin. The captain stopped the aircraft and the first officer went into the cabin to check out the smoke. The captain started the emergency checklist and the first officer could not locate any fire in the cabin. The captain ordered an emergency evacuation of the aircraft instructing the crew to not use the over the wing exit or the rear emergency exit. No passengers or crew were injured except #1 flight attendant, catherine bible, who said her eyes were burning and was treated on the spot and she said she was fine. Maintenance evaluated the problem and found that the return line for the left thrust reverser had a loose fitting. This allowed hydraulic fluid to spray onto the exhaust pipe for the APU. The smoke then entered the air-conditioning packs and got into the cabin. Maintenance performed a pack burnout, inspected the engine driven hydraulic pumps, removed the aft cargo bulkhead lining and replaced it, cleaned hydraulic fluid from around the thrust reverser bypass valve, and installed the three door slides that were deployed. Aircraft was approved for return to service.
