A small plane made an emergency landing on U.S. Highway 101, south of San Jose, in California, on June 6, 2015.
The single-engine plane was flying from Harris Ranch Airport, Coalinga when it lost engine power and had to land in emergency.
There were 4 people aboard, including the 20-year-old pilot Wyatt Grow; all of them remained unhurt.
The southbound lanes of the highway were temporarily closed due to the incident.
On Feb 14, 2013, an hour into the British Airways (Boeing 747-400) Los Angeles to London flight, the crew smelled smoke in the cockpit. Fumes made the flight crew sick. The captain put on the oxygen mask as they diverted to Las Vegas, where they made a safe landing at 10:20 p.m. Thursday.
British Airways provided hotel accommodations for the passengers overnight, and alternative flights the next day.
British Airways says the fumes were not smoke-related. Early indications seem to be a ‘fault with the number three engine.’ Passengers were frustrated by perceived chaos and lack of information once they were on the ground in Las Vegas. Emergency medical services checked over the flight crew on landing; they were hospitalized.

Fumes in a closed air system, fumes that sicken the flight crew–isn’t this something that needs to be investigated? It seems like healthy air–or at least breathable air–is an essential part of flying. It’s not like you’re going to have a happy landing if you’ve suffocated on the way, or if your pilot passed out on the flight. I don’t care if it is cheap aftershave, or de-icer burnoff–whatever it is, let’s hope they get to the root of this too-frequent problem once and for all.
