Two potential disasters involving airplanes were averted in Massachusetts in the last couple of days. An American Airlines Flight 1937 left Boston for San Juan, Puerto Rico and returned an hour after smoke was smelled in plane’s rear bathroom. The plane left Logan Airport around 8:35 a.m. and made an emergency landing at 9:45 a.m. All 185 people on board were not injured and all passengers were placed on other flights. Also, a military C-5 transport plane landed safely at Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee on Thursday despite losing two wheels. The crew didn't know the wheels were missing until an air traffic controller told them.
