American Airlines reporting it was caused by an engine issue. American Airlines flight 383, a Boeing 767 bound for Miami (MIA), aborted takeoff at Chicago O'Hare (ORD) due to an engine-related issue. The 161 passengers and nine crew members deplaned on the runway, and buses are en route to pick up t...
Jump to postWhat a stupid ignorant comment! Unbelievable.... I was referring to the strangeness of FAA's decision. ORD has a total of 8 runways and yet FAA needs a full ground stop because of what happened on one of them ? When your emergency response crews are all occupied, you don't want to raise the odds (h...
