Just a day after American Eagle mechanics gave a clean bill of health to a plane that had made an emergency return to O’Hare International Airport due to a landing gear problem, the same aircraft was forced to turn around in flight and land at O’Hare again today because of “a similar issue’’-- but this time it veered off the runway, airline and federal aviation officials said.

Federal authorities are investigating an apparent case of stolen identity after an American Eagle Airlines employee allegedly used another man's identity to get a job as a flight attendant, according a statement from the airline.
