SANFORD, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - An airbus A-380 that was on its way to Orlando Sanford International Airport was forced to make emergency landing in Norfolk, Virginia. The Thomas Cook Airliner left Belfast, Ireland heading to Sanford for an early Friday evening arrival.
About 3 hours from landing, the pilot said he noticed a rattling in one of the two engines and shut it down. He was directed to Norfolk. Officials said 265 passengers were aboard the plane.
After about a 4-hour delay, the passengers continued on their way to Florida. No one was injured.
