A flight headed to Tampa International Airport needed to make a little detour.
The United Airlines flight 1640 headed from Newark Liberty International Airport Tampa needed to made an announcement to the passengers that there was a technical issue that would force them to land in Washington, D.C.
Video of emergency vehicles around the runway was shown on WTSP Channel 10 News.
Passengers were moved to a different plane before resuming their trip to Tampa.
Emergency landing in Washington DC. We are on the plane surrounded by fire trucks. Hope we get to the terminal and take another flight to Tampa. @united pic.twitter.com/POMC8bA1xn
