La Romana, RD.– After taking off from La Romana, in the Dominican southeastern region, a Boeing 767-300 had to make an emergency stop in Bermuda on Sunday due to a mechanical malfunction and a possible hydraulic leak.

On approach to Bermuda the crew advised they'd be landing overweight and would stop at the end of the runway requesting emergency service to check their brakes and for hydraulic fluid dripping onto the brakes. The crew however did not declare emergency.

The airplane landed safely on Bermuda's runway 12 about 130 minutes later and stopped on the runway.

Emergency services reported some smoke from the brakes on the outer main gear wheels however no leaks of hydraulic fluid were visible, later adding they could smell the hydraulic fluid. The aircraft taxied to the apron about 20 minutes after stopping.

I doubt there's anything more terrifying than flying out over the ocean and then have the plane start malfunctioning.

It must have been terrifying for everyone on board, thank goodness for a good ground crew and cabin crew in an emergency.

Surely this sort of thing happens all the time? Isn't it because the destination involved the island of Bermuda that everyone gets up tight?
