American Eagle Emergency Landing

What: American Eagle Flight 2829 Embraer ERJ-145 en route from Gerald Ford International Airport to Dallas
Where: Cascade Township airport, Michigan
When: Sept 13 2012
Who: 53 aboard
Why: The flight boarded at 6:30, took off at 7.a.m.from Gerald Ford International Airport, but nineteen minutes into the flight, the panel’s engine emergency light lit up, indicating a problem.

Passengers were told the right engine overheated. They saw no smoke, but say they smelled it after they landed, which runs counter to some news reports which say that the problem was a faulty indicator. About ten fire trucks were on standby. Passengers were provided alternative transportation.

ATC recommended diverting to Grand Rapids, where the pilot made a safe landing at 7:25.

    Connecticut Travel Nightmare


    Six Jet Blue flights (and seventeen other flights) diverted to Bradley International Airport. Three of Jet Blue’s flights got stuck there for hours but at least some of them managed to wait IN the airport. To top off the handicap of area power outages, Jet Blue ran out of bottled water and snacks. The power outages stranded some passengers who were unable to book rooms; they were sleeping everywhere, on cots in the terminal, and the toilets backed up. Some of the luggage that should have gone to Bradley ended up at JFK. Flights were backed up as they were waiting to refuel, de-ice, etc.

    Jet Blue flight 504 landed at 1:30 pm with 123 passengers–Passengers sat on the Tarmac for over seven hours. The planes doors were not opened until 9:00 pm. Three hours is the max allowable; the FAA may fine Jetblue $27500 per passenger as a violation of the Airline passengers bill of rights.

    Captain Thompson praised Air Traffic Control and expressed disappointment in Jet Blue.
