A Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles was forced to make an emergency landing in Hilo Thursday night, according to the state Department of Transportation.
Approximately 235 passengers were on board Delta Flight 1559 -- flying out of Los Angeles International Airport at 2:45 p.m. and expected to arrive in Honolulu -- when one of the twin engine lights went on, DOT officials said. Pilots went through protocol procedures but could not successfully turn the light off, so they shut down one of the engines. They then diverted to Hilo where they landed safely at around 8:30 p.m.
