Seattle flight overruns O'Hare runway
By Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) - An American Airlines Boeing 757 blew a tire and ran off a runway Monday during an emergency landing at O'Hare International Airport, aviation officials said.
No injuries were reported, the Federal Aviation Administration and the airline said. The plane came to rest with its wheels on a grassy area off the runway. Flight 268 was en route from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to New York's Kennedy International Airport when a cockpit indicator light alerted pilots to an "electrical system issue," said American spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan. The plane was diverted to O'Hare and landed at 1:42 p.m., blowing a tire after it touched down. Passengers were taken by bus to the terminal. Fagan said arrangements were made to put them on another flight to New York. |
