emergency landing

There were 255 people on board an American Airlines flight from Korea to Dallas that had to make an emergency landing in Japan.

Air accident experts said the coverings on the fan cowl doors broke off and punctured the right engine's fuel pipe, damaging the aircraft's systems.

We've all heard weird stories that happen while at 30,000 feet... like the man who urinated on a girl, the captain who went nuts mid-flight, even the woman last weekend who stripped while flying to New York.  As far as people freaking out on airplanes goes, this one's pretty solid.
