An American Airlines flight from New York to Spain was diverted to Boston Wednesday, and police say a cracked windshield is to blame.
Flight 94 was bound for Madrid after taking off from John F. Kennedy International Airport. Massachusetts State Police said an Alert 2 was declared for the flight at 9:46 p.m. because the windshield cracked.
An Alert 2 is defined by the Federal Aviation Administration as an indication that an aircraft is having “major difficulties,” which lead crew to believe “a difficult or crash landing may be expected,” according to a document on a Phoenix government website.
At 10:14 p.m., police say the plane landed at Logan International Airport without any further problems, taxiing to the gate on its own.
No further information was immediately available.
