Incident at CHURCHILL MB (CYYQ)
Summary
1996-05-23: United Airlines flight 935, a Boeing 767-300 aircraft, was abeam Iqaluit, Northwest Territories, on a scheduled passenger flight from London, England, to Los Angeles, USA, when the crew heard a popping sound from the left engine area, and noticed that the left engine exhaust gas temperature was approaching its limit. The crew shut down and secured the left engine and declared an emergency.
