Lawsuit filed over emergency landing at O'Hare
September 1, 2010 2:06 PM | No Comments
A woman is suing American Airlines, saying she was traumatized when an American Airlines plane ran off the runway at O'Hare International Airport in 2008.
Jewel Thomas, of Bellevue, Wash. says she has suffered severe mental and emotional problems.
The Boeing 757 was flying from Seattle to New York when it made an emergency landing at O'Hare. No physical injuries were reported among the passengers or crew.
In a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday, Thomas contends the plane was experiencing electrical problems and was on a backup battery. She says the flight crew should have diverted sooner to another airport before the battery ran out and key systems were crippled.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. A spokesperson for American was not immediately available for comment.
