Boeing emergency landing in Buenos Aires

What: Flight AA956, American Airlines Boeing 767 en route from Ezeiza International of Buenos Aires to New York
Where: Buenos Aires
When: May 20 took off at 8:39 p.m and landed at 1:17
Who: 200 passengers
Why: The flight returned to Buenos Aires for an emergency landing due to a technical failure of the “defrosters.” The 767 anti-ice system is essential as the plane flies at 10,000 feet. No injuries were reported. The flight had to fly over De la Plata River to “*finish the fuel.”

There’s no indication if *finish in this context means dump (they did fly over a river) or use up. The term came verbatim from a Xinhua report–so we have a report that has gone from Spanish to Chinese to English and we do apologize if we lose details.

The flight has been rescheduled for Thursday.
