‘I wrote goodbye note on flight’, says Hollywood actress on plane that made emergency landing in Shannon
The United Airlines service from Belfast to the US was forced to divert to Shannon Airport after pilots raised concerns the landing gear could not be locked in place for a touchdown.
Flight UA-76 from Belfast International Airport to Newark took off at 11.10am but declared an emergency a short while later and circled over the west coast for about two hours to burn off fuel before landing safely just before 2.30pm.
