Delta flight makes emergency landing in Atlanta


The Associated Press
Thursday, July 22, 2010; 3:34 PM
ATLANTA -- A federal official says a Delta Air Lines flight bound for Oregon turned around and made an emergency landing in Atlanta after blowing a tire on takeoff.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the Boeing 737 left Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. headed to Portland but turned around once pilots realized a tire had blown.

She said the flight landed safely at 3 p.m. with no reports of injuries.

Delta spokesman Anthony Black said the flight had 160 passengers and 6 crew members. He said all passengers are being rescheduled for other flights to Portland.

Preliminary investigation reveals the FO had been working out too much.
The sheer mass of his biceps caused a tire to blow.
It happened right at 80 kts.
There were no injuries, but a cheerleader was taken to the pilot lounge for observation.

Anyone else hear that Leslie Neilsen actually did this for real one time on a Delta flight?

I have heard that, although which airline it was depends who is telling the story.

I'll tell ya what: that would be the highlight of my career.

A hospital; what is it?

Its a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

Brilliant!

However, I beleive it was the sheer mass of the Captains belly that put the stress on the controls.
