AA Flight Makes Safe Emergency Landing with a Blown Tire
The American Airlines flight 2275 had to make an emergency landing in Sacramento, California, after one of its tires blew out during takeoff, on August 6.
The passengers of the MD-82 aircraft said that they smelled a burning smell when the plane took off from Dallas Fort Worth Airport. However, they were only informed about the problem when they were about to land at Sacramento.
The plane landed uneventfully at around 7:42 p.m. and was towed to Terminal B. All passengers and crew members remained unhurt.
