An American Airline flight from Lincoln to St. Louis had a high-pressure hose explode, leading to a fire in the cargo area. The plane was turned around and landed at a parallel taxiway to the runway. While passengers were shaken up by the incident, a safety-related accident, incident, or threat is reported once a day in the U.S. on average. This figure is estimated to be conservative because the majority of incidents are thought to go unreported.
