AA866 aborted mid takeoff

Just saw this posted on Facebook.

Any further details? Flight Aware shows that flight number didn't depart PJIA until 2am

Apparently it was diverted to Miami instead of CLT as scheduled.

Wow, left PJIA at 2 AM? That's rough. Hopefully we get some more details at some point..

Hi Scubaman,
Are you able to post the Facebook link?
TIA

It looks like the flight has landed in CLT now. That sure makes for a long travel day!

I heard a flight depart at 2 AM. They had to wait for another crew to arrive I was told. What a long day for those folks!

I'll see if I can find it. There wasn't much to the post other than it was aborted and poster assumed it was mechanical.

Yesterday there were two AA 757s parked on the tarmac from the prior night. I had assumed that both were held here (I'm, on SXM) because of high winds at destination airports. One of them was still here this morning. Have heard nothing about any aborted flights here.

Quite a discussion about it with some on the aborted flight posted on Simply SXM Facebook page. Since it's a private group you might not have seen it unless you belong to it.

I left that group several months ago. It got to be just "too much"....

Like with any private or closed Facebook group, if you are not a member, you do not see posts or discussions. It is useless to post a link to a closed group.

Yep. That's why I didn't try to post it.

Explain "too much"

Out of respect for people, and people who like the site I will leave it at that.
But you may PM me if interested.

Understandable
