TAP Flight from US Makes Emergency Landing in Lisbon with Engine Shut Down

A TAP Air Portugal flight originating from Newark, USA, was forced to make an emergency landing at Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport after experiencing a severe mechanical issue with its left engine shut down. The incident, which occurred last Friday, involved approximately 200 passengers who were unharmed despite the scare.

The TP-204 flight encountered the grave mechanical problem during its landing maneuver. Aviation sources suggest a potential hydraulic failure, though a definitive cause will only be confirmed after a thorough mechanical inspection. Despite the challenges, the pilot successfully landed the aircraft safely.

The aircraft is currently out of service as investigations continue. TAP officials have declined to comment on the mechanical failure, leaving many questions unanswered about the incident's specifics and the steps being taken to prevent future occurrences.
