American Airlines Boeing 767 crash Manchester

On the 23rd February 2008, an American Airlines plane carrying 195 passengers made an emergency landing at Manchester Airport.

The Chicago-bound flight 55 was thought to have been an hour into its journey from Manchester to Chicago O'Hare when a crew member spotted a problem with hydraulics in the landing gear.

The captain decided to turn back and make an emergency landing at 2.10p.m. at Manchester Airport.

The landing gear functioned properly although several tyres burst on impact.

Several incoming flights to Manchester were diverted to other UK airports.

The runway was closed for some hours.
