DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A Northwest Airlines plane made an emergency landing Sunday at Dayton International Airport, interrupting the city's air show.
The Boeing 757 was en route from Tampa, Fla. to Detroit when a computer for one of its engines failed, Northwest Airlines spokeswoman Leslie Parker said in an e-mailed statement.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
I wonder how many people thought "Hey, neat - they're doing an emergency landing demo, with fire trucks and everything!" :)
