An
American Airlines flight headed from Miami to Boston diverted to

That "doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen on occasion," Huguely says, adding the cause wasn't immediately known.
There were 150 passengers and six crew on Flight 160, according to CNN. The plane landed safely with no injuries.
The diverted flight landed in Orlando around 10:30 p.m., according to American's website. Huguely tells AP the airline was taken out of service for repairs and passengers put on another flight to Boston. That flight departed Orlando a little after midnight on Wednesday morning, landing in Boston at 2:25 a.m., according to AA.com. With that, Flight 160 passengers arrived about 2 ½ hours later than their originally scheduled 11:50 p.m. arrival.

MIAMI (AP) - An American Airlines
flight from Miami to Boston had to make an unscheduled stop in Orlando after the aircraft's windshield cracked.
Airline spokeswoman Andrea Huguely says Flight 160 landed in Orlando late Tuesday after the pilot's double-paned windshield cracked while the plane was in flight.
Huguely says a cracked windshield "doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen on occasion." It wasn't immediately clear what caused the crack.
The plane landed in Orlando with 156 passengers and crew members on board. No injuries were reported.
Huguely says the passengers boarded another aircraft that landed in Boston early Wednesday. The aircraft with the cracked windshield was pulled out of service for repairs.
