Flight 113 departed Los Angeles International Airport around 11:15 a.m. heading to Manila. The flight was no more than several minutes in the air when the pilot said there was an emergency, and a possible mechanical issue, an LAX spokesman said. Air traffic control transcripts reveal the severity of the emergency. A mayday call meant the pilot believed the situation was life-threatening. [Moar at website]
