A Canada-bound passenger jet rolled off a taxiway and into the grass at O'Hare International Airport Saturday afternoon after apparently losing steering power prior to takeoff, officials said.

About 4:35 p.m., United Express Flight 6975 bound for Winnipeg was driving toward a runway when it experienced mechanical difficulties and veered into a grassy area, a Department of Aviation spokeswoman said.
Emergency workers helped the plane's 40 passengers and crew members exit the plane and return to the terminal to wait for a replacement flight.

No injuries were reported, officials said.

As of Saturday evening, emergency crews were working to remove the disabled plane from the grass, according to the Department of Aviation.

As a pro-union, pro-sex gay Asian/African American/Mexican, I'm appalled.

Just because I see the flaws in the Union, it makes me "Anit-Union" I guess.
Just like if I were to say "I don't have any black friends" makes me racists.


I'm a horrible person.
