Aircraft in distress at KSEA (2:18pm PST 22Nov05).

I guess they have lost an engine, no/low oil pressure. Emergency vehicles are on ready to roll.

I heard it a few minutes before I got this posted.

No one seems to concerned yet, you only hear from the aircraft every now and then.

The are telling aircraft that there is going to be at least a 15 mile hold behind him.

Yeah, kind of a non-issue (or the scanner just missed it). Seems like KSEA didn't miss a beat. I think, but don't know, that they had 4 engines, so loosing one I guess is no big deal.

Still, kind of interesting to hear how they started stacking up planes to give them room.
