American Airlines Flight From Chicago Makes Emergency Landing At Logan Airport
BOSTON (CBS) – An American Airlines flight headed to Boston from Chicago was forced to make an emergency landing at Logan Airport early Thursday morning.
The airline told WBZ-TV that the pilot declared an emergency after an indicator light in the cockpit warned of a possible mechanical issue.
Twitter video from a passenger on board the flight shows several emergency vehicles waiting for the plane with lights flashing.
Just landed in @AmericanAir flight AA1172 to emergency vehicles. We were told wing flaps weren't working. This was after other mechanical issues in Chicago. Landed at high speeds, and just, yikes all around. Retire this plane? pic.twitter.com/0cExoMnIUG
