Oops! Jet Lands On Taxiway At Atlanta

A Delta Boeing 767 cleared to land at Atlanta with a medical emergency on board touched down on a taxiway Monday, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports.

The flight from Rio de Janeiro was cleared to land on runway 27R but landed instead on a parallel taxiway. There was no traffic on the taxiway, and the jet came to a stop safely.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.
