Airplane suffers landing gear problem twice in as many days

CHICAGO (MCT) — Just a day after American Eagle mechanics gave a clean bill of health to a plane that had made an emergency return to O’Hare International Airport because of a landing gear problem, the same aircraft was forced to turn around in flight and land at O’Hare again on Thursday because of a similar issue, but this time it veered off the runway, airline and federal aviation officials said.

No passengers were injured in either incident, both of which are under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration.
