American Airways passengers had a foul flight Thursday … when a fowl flew right into a jet engine turbine and induced an emergency touchdown — and, it was all caught on video.
This is the deal … Flight 1722 took off from LaGuardia Airport in New York Metropolis Thursday — when a fowl nearly instantly flew headlong into the turbine, inflicting a minor fireball to look on the aspect of the airplane.
Watch the clip … the fowl hurtles towards the jet and smacks into the engine — making an enormous thumping noise and seemingly inflicting engine pressure because the airplane pitches barely to the aspect.
No touchdown on the Hudson River right here, although … Flight 1722 made an emergency touchdown at NYC’s different main airport — John F. Kennedy Worldwide, a far cry from its meant vacation spot of Charlotte Douglas Worldwide Airport in North Carolina.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey stated the affect rendered the appropriate engine ineffective …. fortunately, the secondary engine kicked in.
American Airways launched an announcement concerning the incident … saying there have been no accidents and thanking the crew for his or her professionalism throughout the tough flight.
