A United Airlines flight was diverted Thursday evening after the plane suffered a series of technical issues, including a pair of cockpit screens that shut down.
According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, United Flight 4390 took off from Knoxville, Tennessee, en route to Houston when the pilot was forced to call for an emergency landing at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
A passenger on the flight recorded the announcements from one of the pilots, which included the revelation that two cockpit screens had stopped working during the journey and the remaining screens would have shut down if they hadn’t diverted the plane.

“So, you may be able to see we lost two of our screens,” the pilot can be heard saying. “Now, if we kept flying, we’d lose them all, eventually, because there’s not enough cooling. There is tremendous heat behind those screens.”
“If we had continued, eventually, I’d be flying blind, the pilot continued. “So, that’s why we are in Dallas right now. It is unlikely this aircraft is going anywhere tonight.”
Once the plane landed safely at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the passengers were rebooked on different flights and flown to their destinations the following day.
