American Airlines 787 Has Brake Problem and Blown Tire at Chicago O'Hare
Photo: Fox NewsAn American Airlines Boeing 787-800, Flight 41 from Barcelona, landed at Chicago O'Hare International Airport around 2:30 p.m. local time Tuesday, and the crew reported a brake problem and then a blown tire, the Federal Aviation Administration said. Passengers left by stairs and were bused to the terminal. The airline said 234 passengers and 11 crew were aboard and that first responders met the plane as a precaution. The FAA said it will investigate. American Airlines said the jet was taken out of service for maintenance inspection and apologized to customers. The cause of the brake malfunction is unclear.
Alternative / independent outlets had not reported this story at the time of writing; left-leaning and right-leaning outlets had. CBS News, on the left, gave a short account calling it an emergency landing with a brake problem and blown tire, reported by Kris Van Cleave. Fox News, on the right, led with FAA and airline statements, stressing a safe landing and the passenger count. Both agree on the brake trouble and blown tire. A Breitbart article was about a separate Austrian Airlines bomb threat, so it is not part of this account.
