An American Airlines mechanic is accused of sabotaging a plane in Miami because of stalled contract negotiations

The flight to the Bahamas was canceled after pilots noticed an error message on the runway as they powered up the plane's engines.

An American Airlines mechanic was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of sabotaging a plane in Miami this summer, according to the Miami Herald. The mechanic glued a hard foam material inside a tube leading to the plane's air-data module, which measures air speed, pitch, and other crucial flight information. The pilots aborted takeoff when they noticed an error message.
