dis-United again

as if I needed more reasons not to ever fly United Airlines again....
Flight-Evacuation:
A United Airlines flight en route to Vancouver was evacuated Monday night after experiencing engine trouble at O'Hare International Airport.

Flight 1035 was taxiing to a runway when a pilot in a plane behind it reported seeing sparks from the engine, according to the Chicago Department of Aviation. The Airbus 319's 69 passengers and five crew members evacuated using slides, United spokeswoman Jenna Obluk said. A flight attendant and a passenger were taken to a hospital for minor injuries, she said. Another passenger with minor scrapes and bruises was treated at the scene.
