On April 16, 2004 terrist struck once again in America's skys. An incedent Delta flight 6490 was en route from Dallas Ft. Worth to Oklahoma City had a bomb explode in it's cabin. The pilot begins emergency procedures and begins decent to KADM Ardmore, Oklahoma which is the closest 7,000ft rwy. There were 176 passengers on board 90 died due to the bomb and turbulence after the bomb b/c's they weren't buckled in. The rest will leave. The pilot says that after that the engines were in the red to whole way down. The flight system reported him being 90,000ft up and going faster than 500kias when he was cruising at 24,000ft. He also rembers hearing on the radio the altimeter readings being 29475 and pilots calling in at FL-26893. He shut off an engine to control the speed better until on final where F/O Matt Sisson restarted it for better controll. b/c's of the major speed prob. when they were over the runway the engines were cut to slow them down. It would've been perfect except the landing gear wasn't extended b/c's the pilots forgot. No one else was hurt due to the landing. F/O Matt Sisson and Captain are in the hospital being treated for derpression.
