American Airlines inspecting 767s after crack seen
NEW YORK — American Airlines is inspecting 56 of its Boeing 767 jets after cracks were detected on at least two planes. American spokesman Tim Wagner said Tuesday the cracks were discovered in the pylons that attach the engines to the wings on one plane during normal maintenance, and that prompted the general inspection of all planes with the same type of part.

Kinda reminds you of that aircraft that dropped it's engine while taxiing a few years ago.
Remember ORD in 1979 AA DC-10 accident?
Why is it that American always has these mysterious cracks on their engine pylons? Reminds me of their maintenance techniques that were changed after the DC-10 accident.
something about using a fork lift to jam the engine in place and driving the attachment bolt in caused that one
The good news is they found the issue before an in flight problem arose. This is a good thing!
yeaaa....that really sent a message to me about the "crack" on the pylon, of the DC-10
at Chicago's O'Hare (ORD) airport in 1979...I think it was May 25th of that year...
Why is it (seems like) American Airlines has these problems, and no one does ??....hmmmmmm
