Officials told NBC News July 10th. The plane, which left Madrid on July 6th and was headed for New York City’s Johnf Kennedy airport, was diverted to the civil parish Lahes on the Portuguese island Azorus after the pilots received indication of a mechanical issue with an engine.

This wasn’t a story that the news needed to report on. But yea, create some more hysteria
That’s the kind of story that makes you appreciate safety-first decisions. 🙏 Staying overnight in the Azores must’ve been surreal—hope Delta’s compensation eased the stress.
The Azores Islands are beautiful
At least they werent flying mid air with the machanical malfunction and they got accomodated a place to stay and food. Thank god no ine died
The important thing is everyone is safe
The title is misleading but I’d expect nothing less from an entertainment outlet that has no business covering anything but tabloid gossip from the entertainment world. Leave the real news to News. Because the truth is the plane made an emergency landing, they weren’t stranded on an island, they made a cautionary landing out of safety.
I’ve lost count of all the plane issues this year but thank God this one made it safely 🙂🙏🏼✈️
Was it a boeing?
