October 20, 2004Continental trans-Pacific flight makes emergency landing
ANCHORAGE (AP) — A Continental Airlines jet bound for Houston from Tokyo experienced engine trouble and was forced to make an emergency landing Tuesday at Cold Bay. Flight 6, a two-engine Boeing 777 carrying 241 passengers and at least 15 crewmembers, landed just after 4 a.m. at Cold Bay's airport, according to Gordon Bliss, an operations officer with the Federal Aviation Administration. No injuries were reported. "They were having problems with one engine, so they shut that one down and put the plane down before anything got worse," Bliss said. Continental spokesman David Messing said pilots on the flight received warning of reduced oil pressure in one of the engines, which was shut down as a precaution. Procedure then called for the plane to be diverted to the nearest airport, he said. Cold Bay is a community of 95 located 642 miles southwest of Anchorage More scary news here Comments
