UA plane on ground at Peoria. Ran out of Fuel

[Wretched Wrench]

Part of a flight LA to Wash DC, or maybe nonstop.

Over two hours, so far.

Anybody know anything about this?

Looks like maybe UA 1483 scheduled as a direct flight LAX-FLL with a stop in ORD. ORD has had ground stops/delays all afternoon so probably reached the limit of how long it could hold and dropped into Peoria for fuel and to wait it out.

Thanks for the good info. Glad to hear it wasn't anything dramatic.

I'm just speculating (not about the ORD delays/stops) but I'd suspect that if it were anything dramatic like running out of fuel it'd have made the news and I couldn't find anything.
