Aviation News: The American Airlines flight flying around 35 thousand was moving rapidly towards its destination. Suddenly something happened in the plane, hearing the sound of which both the pilots got scared badly. The state of panic was such that despite the completion of the 40-minute flight, both the pilots decided to turn back. At the same time, as soon as it was known that the plane had returned, there was a commotion inside the cabin.
Considering the seriousness of the matter and the protocol, both the pilots decided to go back to Omaha Airport instead of confirming with the cabin crew. The pilot informed ATC about this incident in the flight and as soon as clearance was obtained, the flight was diverted towards Omaha. This flight landed safely at Omaha Airport at around 8:05 pm. In the presence of security staff, all the passengers were taken out of the flight.
Subsequently, the investigation revealed that both the pilots had become victims of a misunderstanding. Actually, this misunderstanding happened because of the intercom system, which is used for communication between pilots and cabin crew. The intercom was inadvertently left on before the flight. A few minutes after takeoff, the pilots heard static on the intercom. After hearing this sound, both the pilots felt that someone was trying to intrude into the cockpit.
Let us tell you that for this flight, the airlines had deployed Embraer ERJ-175 model plane, in which 76 passengers and 4 crew members were on board. After everything was found correct, the flight was sent to its destination. According to flight tracking website Flight Radar, this flight took off again from Omaha Airport at around 11:18 pm and landed at Los Angeles Airport at around 3 am.
