January 10th 2025.
On a snowy Friday morning, more than 200 Delta Air Lines passengers found themselves in a frantic situation as they were forced to evacuate their aircraft. Due to an engine problem during takeoff, the Boeing 757-300 was immediately aborted and the passengers were directed to use the emergency slides to exit the plane. Despite the chaos and urgency of the situation, the flight crew followed proper procedures and no major injuries were reported.
The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport tarmac was soon filled with the sight of passengers bundled up and sliding down the inflatable slides, some even having to run through the snow to safety. In the midst of this unexpected turn of events, Delta Air Lines issued a statement apologizing to their customers and assuring that their main focus was on ensuring their immediate needs were met and getting them to their destinations safely.
According to airport officials, four passengers did sustain minor injuries in the evacuation process. One was taken to the hospital for further treatment while the other three were attended to at the scene. Despite this setback, Delta Air Lines remained determined to prioritize the safety of their passengers and took responsibility for the incident.
As the plane came to a halt on the runway, it was traveling at around 100 miles per hour. The snowy conditions at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport had already caused multiple flight delays and cancellations. The situation only worsened when the Delta engine issue occurred, leading to a ground stop being placed on the airport. This caused chaos and frustration among the passengers, many of whom were eagerly anticipating reaching their destinations.
The Federal Aviation Administration is currently investigating the Delta engine issue. The affected flight, 2668, was headed for Minneapolis-St. Paul. This incident comes just days after a JetBlue passenger caused a scene by opening an exit door during taxiing at the Boston Logan International Airport. Fortunately, no one was harmed and the passengers were able to continue their journey on a different plane.
Despite the unexpected and chaotic circumstances that occurred on Friday morning, Delta Air Lines is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of their passengers. As they continue to investigate the cause of the engine issue, they remain dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable travel experience for all of their customers.
