    Plane with Shredded Tire to Make Emergency Landing at LAX
    KTLA News

    September 2, 2008

    LOS ANGELES -- American Airlines flight 1586 is returning to LAX after reportedly shredding a tire during takeoff.

    Sources say the non-stop flight took off around 11:00 a.m. headed to Toronto with 136 passengers aboard.

    FAA Spokesman Ian Gregor said the pilot reported the problem to the Boeing 737 immediately upon liftoff and asked to return to the airport.

    The pilot plans to stay in the air to burn off fuel before attempting an emergency landing at LAX around 12:45 p.m.

    Emergency vehicles are preparing for the landing on runway 25-Right.

    I take it youve never been on a mexican plane, and by that i mean one that goes from one mexican city to another one, not those nice ones that are international. :D

    I got a 5 hour delay from Houston to Dallas on American Airlines, it was a connecting flight to DC. Of course I missed that flight, then had to stay overnight in Dallas, then they degraded my first class flight to DC to regular and on top of that they weren't polite, they could have cared less that I missed an important event.

    F them.

    There was a landing last year I think, where the front landing was turned to the side or something....

    Anywho, the pilot had to hold the nose up as long as possible and not have it come crashing down when he couldn't hold it any longer.
    That was an impressive landing, and the Jetblue (I think) passengers were watching themselves on CNN... Crazy.
