Boeing 737 MAX declared emergency after engine shutdown, lands safely

When it cleared the plane to fly again, FAA Administrator Steve Dickson (pic) said he was confident that the jet was safe but warned that in-flight mechanical problems occasionally occur with all commercial aircraft.

American Airlines Co said on Friday that a Boeing 737 MAX bound for New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport declared an emergency after the captain shut down one engine over a possible mechanical issue.

American's Flight 2555 from Miami with 95 passengers and six crew landed safely at Newark without incident, the airline said.
