Boeing B757 Major Electrical Failure In Flight

On a scheduled passenger flight from Seattle/Tacoma (USA) to New York JFK (USA), the crew of a Boeing 757 lost significant electrical systems functionality en route. A diversion with an emergency declared was made to Chicago O’Hare (USA) where after making a visual daylight approach, the aircraft was intentionally steered off the landing runway when the aircraft commander perceived that an overrun would occur. None of the 192 occupants were injured and there was only minor damage to the aircraft landing gear.
