L.A.-bound Delta flight back to ATL

Several passengers on a Delta Air Lines flight to Los Angeles were injured evacuating the plane overnight after an engine problem forced the Boeing 757 to return to Harstfield-Jackson International Airport for an emergency landing.

The plane, Flight 1323, took off at 11:51 p.m. Monday and returned minutes later.

“The cockpit crew elected to return back to Atlanta for mechanical evaluation,” Delta spokeswoman Chris Kelly Singley told AM750 and now 95.5FM News/Talk WSB. “The flight landed safely and emergency vehicles assisted the aircraft once it was on the ground.”
