10.21.05 American
Airlines Flight 570 Tires Blow - CSI |
|
|
Takeoff Aborted
An American
Airlines flight from Dallas to Omaha blew two
tires on the runway during takeoff Thursday
night and the takeoff was aborted.
The flight was
American 570 from Dallas-Fort Worth to Omaha.
The pilot aborted
the takeoff and maneuvered back to the runway.
There were 135
people on the plane at the time and one of them
was Omahan Amy Scanlon. |
She told us, "I'm in
the 9th row. You could tell the tires had blown
because we instantly tilted down and the plane
started going out of control. There was a lot of
jerking and noise and it was obviously very loud
but the pilot really came through and held it on
the runway."
Both flat tires
were on the right side of the plane.
No one on board
was injured but several runways were shut down.
The passengers
later continued on to Omaha, arriving around
10:30.
Actress and Nebraska native Marg
Helgenberger was among those on board.
She put the
incident in perspective saying, "There
were a couple of soldiers that were
coming back from Iraq and they started
laughing because compared to what
they've seen, this seemed like child's
play."
There was
no initial word on what caused the
problem.

Jet blows tires on
takeoff
GRAPEVINE, Texas -- An American Airlines jet aborted
takeoff Thursday afternoon from Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport after blowing at least two tires.
Flight 570 was bound for Omaha, Neb., when the incident
happened, American spokesman Tim Kincaid said.
Nobody on the MD-80 was hurt. The jet carried 130
passengers and a crew of five, Kincaid said.
Live TV coverage after the jet had stopped showed the
right wing appeared to be listing while on a runaway
area and surrounded by emergency vehicles.
Passengers deplaned via stairs and were bused to the
terminal. Arrangements were being made to put the
passengers on another flight to Omaha, he said.
"It was on its takeoff run. It had not left the ground,"
Kincaid said, adding that the plane had "a couple of
blown tires."
A 35-minute delay at the gate before the jet departed,
to fix a minor fuel leak, was not related to the blown
tires, according to Kincaid.
