A plane was forced to make an emergency landing after screens used by the pilot went blank mid-flight. Footage from inside the plane shows the pilot telling passengers he had “lost two screens” and was running the risk of “flying blind” because some of the aircraft’s mechanisms were overheating. “This dictates that we land as soon as possible because if we had continued, eventually I’d be flying blind. So that is why we are in Dallas right now.”The pilot added that it is “unlikely this aircraft is going anywhere tonight”. He added: “Customers deplaned normally and we are working to get our customers on their way to their destination as soon as possible.”- Press Association
