Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Mike Fergus says the Israeli airliner, which was coming from Tel Aviv, landed about 6 a.m. PDT on Thursday. No injuries were reported.
An airport spokesman says passengers were taken by bus to a terminal and maintenance crews were inspecting the Boeing 777 aircraft.
What is with all these Emergency Landings?
would you rather they DIDN’T land?!?!?!
did it reach the final destination?
R’ Yankel Miller says it best. He was once on a plane and there was a loud bang, and all the passengers started crying so he told the Captain he will. Calm everybody down. He grabs the pa mic and says relax folks the pilot has 20 years experience, and I promise you no will stay up here….
Kokosh, that is one of the oldest aviation jokes. Way back, seems a century ago, my first flight instructor told me, “Landing is the easiest part of flying. In the history of aviation, No One has failed to land. And any landing you walk away from is a successful landing.” In fact, every aviation accident is caused by contact with terrain; albeit sometimes unplanned contact.
My shver is a nuclear physicist who used to work for the navy. His daughter, my wife, is terrified of air travel. His line to her, based on the laws of physics, it is a bigger miracle for a plane to fall out of the sky then to stay up. Just a thought.
Statistically speaking- if a person was to be born on an airplane and stay on it, never getting off, they would die in a plane crash when they were 80 years old.
P.S.-seems safer than greyhound bus in Canada
Are they going to charge all the passengers a special “Emergency landing fee”?
Speaking of charges American Airlines didn’t charge the “checked bagage fee” when they screwed up the handling this week at JFK…
