Emergency Landing in Quad


What: United Express Embraer 175 en route from Pittsburgh to Denver
Where: Quad-Cities International Airport,
When: Thursday, June 4 9:05 a.m.
Who: Sixty-seven passengers and four crew (2 flight attendants, a pilot and co-pilot.)
Why: When smoke filled the cabin, and there were electrical problems, the flight diverted to Quad City International Airport in Moline. Emergency slides were not used, and there were no injuries.

It took under ten minutes from the perception of the emergency to the safe landing.

George’s Point of View

After a tragedy like the Air France Airbus, each safe landing after an emergency reminds of what a blessing a safe homecoming is.
