Confusion in smoke-filled plane put passengers at risk
Indecision and communication issues during an emergency on board an American Airlines flight put the lives of 161 passengers and nine crew members in jeopardy, but fortunately, there were no fatalities during the Oct. 28, 2017 episode.
That was one of the conclusions about the incident at Chicago O’Hare International Airport that was already released by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Details about what caused the emergency will be revealed at a Jan. 23 meeting of the NTSB in Washington, D.C. – unless there’s a government shutdown.
