Last night, one of the engines went out on an American Airlines flight on its way to Chicago from John Wayne Airport in California's Orange County. News reports indicate that none of the 149 passengers and crew of six on board were injured.
American Airlines spokesman Billy Sanez said the engine on Flight 1236 died just minutes after takeoff at 3:21 p.m. The aircraft, which is a 757, was diverted to Los Angeles International Airport, where it landed safely about 10 minutes later.
