    Military Jets Escort Hawaii-Bound American Airlines Plane

    A Hawaii-bound American Airlines plane was escorted by two fighter jets on May 19th.

    American Airlines flight 31 was heading from Los Angeles, California, to Honolulu, Hawaii, when a passenger tried to break into the cockpit. The crew reported the disturbance, which prompted the Pacific Command to dispatch a pair of fighter jets for escort.

    The passenger, identified as Turkish national Anil Uskanil, 25, was restrained and subdued before the plane landed in Honolulu.

    “The aircraft is currently on the ground, and the individual who disrupted the flight has been detained,” the Department of Homeland Security said.

    American Airlines Emergency Landing in Dallas, Engine alert, Tire Pop

    What: American Airlines Boeing 777 en route from Dallas to Sao Paolo, Brazil
    Where: Dallas
    When: July 31, 2011
    Who: 264 passengers, 14 crew
    Why: Indicators convinced the pilots of Flight 963 that an engine caught on fire. The pilots returned to Dallas and landed the 777 safely. The brakes locked up and a tire blew out, but that kind of thing is not unusual for an overweight landing.

    Onlookers saw the flight dumping fuel, described as fuel streaming from its jets. If they were alarmed, just think how the passengers felt.

    In George’s Point of View


    At least they survived. For what they put the passengers through, what will the airline operator do? Will they hand out to the passengers a free drink voucher? A hundred dollar voucher for future use?
    I want to know.
