A Delta Air Lines flight traveling from Las Vegas to Paris was forced to make an emergency landing in Boston following a mechanical issue on Thursday night.
According to Fox News, the FAA confirmed that crew members “reported a vibration and declared an emergency” before the plane landed without incident at Logan International Airport just before 9:30 p.m. ET Thursday.
“On my way home from CES. All of a sudden a loud noise in the plane. Confusion. People panicking. In the end an emergency landing in Boston,” wrote passenger and journalist Jona Kallgren in a Twitter post on Thursday night, praising the flight crew for their professional response.
I can add that the @Delta crew and staff handled the situation very very well. Calm, friendly, professional
