DUBLIN
– Authorities say a United Airlines flight from London to Los Angeles
has made an emergency landing in Shannon, Ireland, after the pilots
reported smoke in the cockpit.
Shannon Airport in western Ireland
says all 182 passengers and 10 crew members on Friday's flight are
unhurt. All remained on the Boeing 777 as engineers inspected the
aircraft to determine whether it could continue its journey.
Passengers
sending text messages from the aircraft say the pilots reported smoke
in the cockpit and dumped fuel in the Atlantic before turning back to
Ireland. Shannon, the westernmost major airport in Europe, experiences
about two emergency diversions of trans-Atlantic flights per month.
