AA B-752 Off the Runway in ORD

Looks like the plane the guy asked about earlier overran the runway with no reported injuries. BA and VS did go arounds behind it from what I heard on the ATC freqs.


American flight makes emergency landing at O'Hare

September 22, 2008

FROM STNG WIRE REPORTS
An American Airlines flight en route from Seattle to New York City made an emergency landing at O'Hare International Airport on Monday afternoon after reported electrical problems on board.

American Flight 268, a Boeing 757 bound from Seattle-Tacoma International to JFK, made the emergency stop after an indicator light came on in the cockpit, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory.

The plane landed about 1:42 p.m. on Runway 22 Right and was stopped in the runway's overrun area, Cory said. Passengers were deplaning, as of 2:05 p.m.

Fire dispatch reports said the plane was off the runway and emergency crews were checking the safety of passengers. No injuries were reported as of 2 p.m., but Cory referred all inquiries to American.

American Airlines did not return requests for comment as of 2 p.m.

A spokesman for the city Department of Aviation would say only that American Flight 268 was experiencing "electrical problems."

Fire Media Affairs Asst. Director Eve Rodriguez said the plane experienced radio problems en route to the airport. An EMS Plan 1 and still-and-box response were called at the airport.

The FAA will be investigating the situation, Cory said.
