An American Airlines flight was forced to turn around and make an emergency landing after cracks formed in the cockpit’s windscreen shortly after take-off.
There were anxious moments for some passengers when the twin-engine plane, carrying almost 200 people, returned to Los Angeles International Airport while en route to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Monday.
After the aircraft landed safely, passenger Glenn Kagan snapped a photograph that shows a spider web of cracks in the left windscreen of the Boeing 757-223.
