Alitalia Emergency @ BOS
« on: March 18, 2008, 09:59:01 PM »
Hey,

Did anyone catch the nature of the emergency around 0130Z? I saw that there was a gate hold for BOS flights out of DTW due to emergency so I tuned to BOS tower and heard a few things.

It is some Alitalia airplane, "Logan Command" pulled up to their cargo doors, I presume a fire. Does anyone know anything more?

Sounds like they have an emergency in BOS right now... pilots are on the ground and still on oxygen. Sounds like a hazmat... ATC was asking them for shipping papers to identify the "product".

I've merged both of your threads into one since you're discussing the same incident.
