What: Jetblue Airbus A320-200 en route from Las Vegas to New York
Where: Las Vegas
When: June 17
Who: 135 passengers
Why: After taking off from Las Vegas, “yellow” hydraulics aboard the jet blue flight failed, leading the pilot to declare an emergency and return to the airport due to “mechanical indications.”
Passengers were getting airsick due to the plane’s rocking locomotion, and described the flight as nightmarish.
On landing, the plane was towed, as the steering was reported as inoperable.
