An engine problem soon after takeoff lead to an Atlas Air Boeing 747-8 cargo plane to make an emergency landing at Miami International Airport. The accident happened on Thursday night, so everyone did what they were supposed to do and safely went to MIA. Atlas Air said a check would be done to find out why the engine was not working.
Videos going around on the social media site X that haven’t been checked out show flames shooting out of the plane’s left wing while it’s in the air. Reuters was not able to quickly confirm that these videos were real. Based on flight information, the plane was a Boeing 747-8 with four General Electric GEnx engines.
Emergency Landing in Miami (Atlas Air)
When Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived, there were thankfully no reports of accidents. It’s still not clear how many crew members are on board. Boeing refused to comment, and when Reuters asked the FAA and General Electric to do the same, they both did not reply.
Boeing is in a lot of trouble right now because of what happened with an Alaska Airlines MAX 9 plane. It possessed to make an emergency landing on January 5 after a segment of its body broke off soon after takeoff from Portland, Oregon. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) briefly grounded 171 planes for safety checks because of this event. Boeing’s shares have gone down by about 15% since what happened with Alaska Airlines.
It’s important to remember that Boeing said goodbye to the famous 747 early last year. This was the end of an age dominated by the first “jumbo jet.” The last 747 was delivered to Atlas Air, signifying the end of an important part of the history of the plane. As investigations into recent events continue, the airline’s safety measures and procedures are being looked at more closely, which will have an effect on the stock performance of the business.
