The pilot told air traffic controllers it was a level three emergency, which is the second highest level.

Chicago police said a man was taken to a hospital for evaluation after the plane landed at O’Hare Airport.

No further information about the incident was available.

Meanwhile, a plane had to make an emergency landing Wednesday at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport due to a highly unusual problem in a bathroom. Frontier Airlines Flight 3566 was en route from Denver to Detroit when “the front lavatory faucet sprung a leak, causing water to flow down part of the floor of the plane,” airline officials said.

Also Wednesday, two private planes made contact Wednesday at Chicago’s Midway Airport. The wing of a parked plane came into contact with the nose of a parked plane, the Chicago Department of Aviation said.
