I was on flight 2238 Dallas TX to Charlotte NC. Left engine went out mid flight and engines began spewing hydraulic fuel. Supposedly one engine caught on fire. We emergency landed in Birmingham Alabama and they didnt offer any additional flights. I was stuck in Birmingham and had to buy another $1k ticket to get back to Charlotte. I contacted AA and they refused to give a refund or voucher because the flight was "completed". Completed because I purchased another ticket. American Airlines is horrible. I figured that since they nearly killed us and left us in a random state they would refund. Nope not a chance. Don't ever fly AA the planes and employees are horrible! The date of the flight was August 24th, 2012. I'm lucky to be alive.
