[新聞] Two plane incidents at Chicago's O'Hare airport
(CNN) A passenger jet preparing to take off from the airport skidded off
the runway at Chicago, Illinois' O'Hare and another plane was forced to
return there after engine problems were reported, officials said.
American Airlines Flight 1544 -- an MD-80 carrying 54 passengers and
a crew of five -- was taxiing into takeoff position on Runway 22-L
when it hit an icy patch, said airline spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan.
No one was hurt, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman
Elizabeth Isham Cory said.
The left tires and the nose tires slid onto the grass next to the
taxiway, she said.
The passengers deplaned via the stairs and were bused back to the
terminal, where arrangements were being made for their travel to
their planned destination -- Reagan National Airport outside Washington,
she said.
In a separate incident that occurred shortly after 6:30 p.m. Wednesday,
another American Airlines MD-80 had just taken off from O'Hare carrying
76 passengers and a crew of five en route to St. Louis, Missouri, when
an engine problem forced it to return, officials said.
Cory said the plane was about 15 miles south of O'Hare when the pilot
radioed concern over an "engine issue."
"We were about maybe a minute or two into the flight, and we heard a
loud bang that we thought was landing gear," one passenger told CNN
affiliate WLS. "But then the plane kind of tilted a little bit and
shuddered a little bit, and then the pilot came on about 10 seconds
later and said our right engine had gone out, had blown, and we were
going to turn around and make an emergency landing back at O'Hare."
The woman said she has canceled her plans to visit her sister in
Arkansas for Christmas and decided to remain in Chicago instead.
"Now we're going to go home and go to bed, I think, because it was
pretty scary," she said.
