A United Airlines pilot declared an emergency after his Boeing 757 windshield was cracked as he approached Boston from Los Angeles this afternoon, but the plane has landed safely.
Flight 162, carrying 188 passengers, called in the emergency to Logan International Airport at about 3 p.m.
Ground emergency crews were placed on standby but Massport, which runs the airport, said the incident was not as serious as first believed.
“It was a cracked windshield. The pilot called back to say there was no emergency,” said spokesman Phil Orlandella.
The plane landed safely at about 3:30 p.m. without incident.
