And a nice happy ending as you would have expected.



A Delta Air Lines flight to Portland that blew a tire on take off has landed safely at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

According to Delta spokesman Anthony Black, the plane was scheduled to take off at 11:14 a.m.

The plane blew a tire during take off and "as a precautionary measure, the captain elected to return to the airport," Black said.

The plane apparently was circling over Alabama before landing at Hartsfield around 3 p.m.

The plane "landed without incident," Black said. "We'll tow the aircraft to the gate and work to reschedule customers to Portland. We’ll work to determine if we can do a tire change and get the aircraft back out soon."
Spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said there was nothing to suggest Flight 1457 is in trouble.

Probably the hardest part for these two DL pilots, was making a soft landing.
