American Airlines Flight 41 Suffers Brake Issue and Blown Tire on Landing at Chicago O'Hare

American Airlines Flight 41, a Boeing 787‑800 carrying 234 passengers and 11 crew, landed safely at Chicago O’Hare International Airport at about 2:30 p. m. local time after a flight from Barcelona. The crew reported a brake malfunction followed by a blown tire. Passengers deplaned via stairs and were bused to the terminal by first responders, who arrived out of an abundance of caution. The aircraft was removed from service for inspection, and the airline issued an apology. The Federal Aviation Administration has opened an investigation; the cause of the brake problem remains unknown. The Chicago Fire Department has not yet commented.
