American Airlines Plane Blows 2 Tires After Landing with Brake Issues at O'Hare Airport: Officials
The FAA is investigating after a Boeing 787-800 landed safely with a damaged tire, and American Airlines said no one was injured.
- On Tuesday, American Airlines Flight 41 from Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport made an emergency landing at O'Hare International Airport after the crew reported a brake issue that caused a tire to blow upon touchdown.
- There were 234 customers and 11 crew members on board the aircraft. Per procedure, first responders met the plane out of an abundance of caution, and passengers were safely transported to the terminal by bus.
- The Boeing 787-800 involved has been taken out of service to be inspected by the airline's maintenance team. One person was transported to a local hospital in good condition, according to the Chicago Fire Department.
- Authorities are investigating the incident after the jet's brakes reportedly dragged along the runway, causing a tire to go flat, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Additional details about the cause have not been released.
- Several incidents involving landing gear and blown tires have occurred in recent months at O'Hare Airport, though most previous incidents involved tires popping while taxiing rather than during landing.
