When: Mar 7 2010, 1 pm
Who: 66 passengers and 4 crew
Why: While en route, smoke was observed in the cockpit. The flight returned to Aspen within thirty minutes of takeoff, and passengers debarked without problem.

Emergency Landing in S.C.


Pictured: Delta Connection (Comair) Canadair CL-600-2C10 Regional Jet CRJ-701ER over Atlanta. This one is purely a guess on my part since the info is sketchy (so far) and no registration # yet. But this jet is both Comair and Delta and CRJ, and south, so we’re probably not too far off.

US Airways/PSA Airline Runway Overrun

Contact photographer Charin deSilva

What: US Airways/PSA Airlines Canadair CRJ-200 en route from Charleston West Virginia to Charlotte, North Carolina
Where: Charleston
When: Jan 19th 2010
Who: 30 passengers and 3 crew
Why: During takeoff, the pilot overran runway 23. The takeoff was aborted as the pilot responded to a warning signal, coming to a stop before a steep drop at the runway’s end. We don’t know the extent of damage but it is expensive, especially to the EMAS (and the plane!), but apparently there were no reported injuries. EMAS is credited for saving the lives of the crew and passengers as when the pilot braked during take-off, the plane impacted the Engineered Material Arresting System.

The Yeager Airport EMAS is a system of concrete blocks designed to collaps to bring a plane to a safe stop.
