FlightAware Flight Log
What: American Airlines Boeing 757 en route from Boston to Miami
Where: JFK
When: Sep 29th 2012
Who: 3 passengers
Why: While en route, a row of seats in the coach cabin became loose in flight.
The three passengers were provided alternative seats and pilots diverted the plane to JFK where they made a safe landing.
Passengers disembarked and boarded another plane to continue their flight. The incident has been cited in national news reports as an example of an “increase in maintenance issues.”
American Airlines flight 2398 made an emergency landing in Memphis, Tennessee, on May 14th.
The plane, heading from Nashville, Tennessee, to Dallas, Texas, was diverted due to smell of smoke in the cabin.
The plane landed uneventfully. All 141 passengers and 5 crew members remained safe.
In order “…to evaluate, investigate and determine the actual cause of the accident so similar accidents could be avoided in the future” an international team has been appointed by the government of Malaysia to investigate MH370.
Australia reports debris washing ashore that may be connected to the crash. If the debris proves to be from the plane, ocean patterns may be studied to help establish positioning. If the debris is related, it will be the first hard evidence found.
The current search focuses in a 10-kilometer radius of the area of pings sourced, it is believed, from MH370’s black boxes before the ping batteries ran out.
Poor weather conditions have curtailed air searches, although ships have continued.
The position of Malaysian authorities is that the plane was deliberately diverted, but mechanical failure has not been ruled out.
