Chicago Tribune staff report March 31, 2007, 6:24 PM CDT A Canada-bound passenger jet rolled off a taxiway and into the grass at O'Hare International Airport Saturday afternoon after apparently losing steering power prior to takeoff, officials said. About 4:35 p.m., United Express Flight 6975 bound for Winnipeg was driving toward a runway when it experienced mechanical difficulties and veered into a grassy area, a Department of Aviation spokeswoman said. Emergency workers helped the plane's 40 passengers and crew members exit the plane and return to the terminal to wait for a replacement flight. No injuries were reported, officials said. As of Saturday evening, emergency crews were working to remove the disabled plane from the grass, according to the Department of Aviation.
