Jet makes emergency landing at airportPosted 10/27/2006 7:37 PM ETE-mail | Save | Print | Subscribe to stories like this
Airport spokeswoman Trish Burke said the American Airlines Embreaer E135 jet had communicated with the airport that it had an "engine out" at 4:30 p.m. It landed 25 minutes later, Burke said.
The 46 people aboard were not injured, Burke said.
"Initial reports are that it had a brake problem," Burke said, adding that the aircraft was slightly off the runway.
Burke could not say where the aircraft was headed. A message seeking comment was left with American Airlines.
It was raining in Louisville at the time of the emergency landing, but weather did not appear to be a factor, she said.
