Delta 767 Engine Failure (July 2)
Last night, I think on rwy 31L, a Delta 763 had some engine trouble at about 5pm or 6pm, and it, along with a large amount of emergency vehicles, stayed around the aircraft until after midnight.
It looked as though this contributed to the insane taxiway congestion last night, and perhaps even to the very rare 31R departures! I've seen Dash-8s and JetBlues take off on 31R, but never heavies!

Quite a rare sight indeed. When I worked for UAL back in the late 90's you would get 31R departures from A300's/ A310's/ and B762's & B763's. Keep in mind this was not a normal operation, but when things got really congested it did happen. Quite a sight to see a B763 loaded for Europe lifting off by the triple hangars.
