Airliner makes emergency landing

Breaking on Sky and BBC:

Quote:
A passenger plane carrying about 100 passengers has made an emergency landing at Leeds Bradford International Airport.
Quote:
"The aircraft has landed safely," a West Yorskire Fire and Rescue Sevice spokeswoman said.

"They had a problem with one of the engines," she said.

There are no reports of casualties or damage to the aircraft, she added.

Re: Airliner makes emergency landing

It was going to land there anyway, it just decided to do it in more dramatic fashion.

Re: Airliner makes emergency landing

Any landing is nothing more than a controlled crash, and all crashes are good crashes as long as you walk away from them.....

Depends if you own the aircraft, some cost around £150,000,000 a lot of cash to lose.

Typical pilots.

I've got a friend who is a pilot, and we went for a drive - he sat there for 30 minutes before he'd even pull out of the drive

Re: Airliner makes emergency landing

That's odd because there has just been (well 1544) a full emergency at Humberside Airport, the aircraft landed prior to the arrival of the Fire Service.

He was probably hoping you would get out of the car.

He was waiting for someone else to push the car backwards out of the drive?
