Delta Boeing 737 rolls off taxiway into embankment at Atlanta airport: A Boeing 737 operated by Delta Airlines runs off a taxiway and down a small hill at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Two Delta maintenance workers were testing the engines on the 737 aircraft shortly after 5 a.m. when the brakes failed and the plane began to move, according to Delta spokesman Eric Torgenson.


No passengers were aboard the plane when it left Taxiway E and crashed into the embankment. The plane sustained damage, but the extent of it is not yet known, Torgenson said.
