It seems like if the airport in Santiago has been holding a curse yesterday and today. AA749, AA5180 yesterday had problems getting into the airport while AA2296 after taking off and being in the air had to turn back to pop because of mechanic problems. Today AA1774 after being almost an jour in the air had to turn back to Santiago for maintenance (Supposely). AA738 was suppose to leave at 9AM and beause of Mechanic problems had to be put to leave at 130PM. Just something I though was intresting to share with you people. I can imagine how crazy the passangers of those flights were.

Santiago Airport Curse

I believe planes headed for Santiago yesterday were diverted to POP because of problems at the Santiago Airport.THE GAME said:
I was told problems with the runway.THE GAME said:
I just got off the phone with Badpiece. It was a crash landing coming back. They didn't land in Puerto Plata because they said there wasnt enough medical services there.
He said that they hit a bird on takeoff and an hour into the flight they dropped several thousand feet and made a left and a left in a real hurry. He said the stewardesses were reading a manual while trying to calm passengers.
He is still trying to get his luggage. He lost his sunglasses. They were told to empty their pockets and hold their ankles when landing. The plane is supposedly leaving at 10pm tonight but he says HE AIN'T GONNA GET BACK on THAT PLANE.
Now for the Bad news. He says he is going to Taco Tuesday. Badpenny strikes again.

And to think he was afraid of flying before this flight. At least he had a 'great landing' (see #8).Escott said:
The airplane returned to Santiago because there was a smell in the cabin and they decided to turn back. The controllers told the airport that the airplane was coming with engines out to Santiago which in fact activated an alert 2 which require the deployment of the emergency services at the airport. As I understand, at last, it was only burn rubber smell from the tires. An investigation is following.
I love this thread...I flew back sept 11th out of santiago going to JFK...we left and about an hour into the flight the planes just drops a plane and a half!!!!!!!! and the food cart was 2 rows in front of me!!!! damn...we you never heard so much spanish praying and crying and screaming in your life... this huge guy next to me was going gang busters crossing himself..... the worst part is a flight attendant gets onthe horn and does her worst, and gives a heart wrenching horror filed tirade about immediatley getting back to your seats and buckled up immediately immediately!!!!!! ok ppour some gasoline on this fire lady!... the carts are wheelled away fast and the horror striken attendates and whire as ghosts sitting buckled up in their seats...so Ifigure we hit something. and it wasnt turbulance...right!...why else is their a paniced flight crew!!!! It was neat seeeing everything on TOP of the cart rise into the air and float for a second or two!!!!!!!!!....I cant believe the wing stayed onin that jolt!...well that was it, and a half hour later I got to eat...I was just about finnished when the last lady stopped crying. so is it Santiago and an AA curse?????????? I tell you what I lost some luggage with Jet Blue.. and their hours of flights are for the birds! Is anyone else having trouble keepng cologne in their luggage after going through Santiago airport...at least three other guys at my work have lost cologne and stuff in that airport...another consipracy theory for ya! ha ha ha...bob

I asked whats up with the cologne thing!..he didnt elaborate......bob
Santiago Airport Thieves
I got stuck in JFK overnight a while back, but my bags made it to STI ahead of me.
While the bags sat in the American Airlines baggage office, they went through it and stole a cell phone and about 10 dollars in US quarters.
They left me 2 quarters... I assume that was so I could call somebody since they took my cell phone.
Lesson learned.

thats strange....my flight to STI on spt 2nd was 2.5 hours late leaving!...one of the reasons( not the complete delay ) was that they had put someones bags on the plane, but that person never made it onto the plane( via boarding pass info)..so they said they have to wait to take the luggage off the plane before they left!!!!.....
then they anounced that that person finally made it onto the plane and thus they had to delay again to get him luggage BACK onto the plane!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know how often it happens and who has gone through it...but when we rolled out onto the runway.. they were 30 plus planes lined up in front of us!!!!!!!!! talk about a prime terrorist opportunity!!!!... and they seemed to be all using the same runway!!!! I would think JFK is big enough to have planes take off in several directions!
Although i realize that air traffic in New York can be busy because i have hunted and fished long island sound down near the city and the planes come out of the city less than a minute apart, and as close as a half mile apart as they climb and turn inland one after another for hours on end!!!!...bob
