What: Itali Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-82 en route from Milan to Naples
Where: Milan on Feb 10th 2010
When: Feb 10 2010
Who: 6 crew
Why: After takeoff, the plane’s engine left a trail of sparks and was vibrating. A quarter of an hour later, the plane returned to the runway for a safe landing in spite of hydraulic damage. The speculation is that ice ingestion caused damage to the engine and hydraulics, but of course that is an open question until after the investigation.
