    Nw flight has emergency landing at Buffalo / Niagara airport

    The Associated Press
    Friday, May 18, 2007
    CHEEKTOWAGA, New York: A Northwest Airlines flight made an emergency landing at Buffalo Niagara International Airport Friday.

    A 12-inch (30-centimeter) hole opened up in the plane's fuselage, Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority officials said.

    Northwest Airlines flight 1411 experienced a loss of cabin pressure and smoke filled the cockpit during a flight between Syracuse and Detroit, spokesman Doug Hartmayer said.

    The airport went on alert, and the plane landed safely with 95 people aboard.

    The hole in the plane's hull was found after it landed.

    No further information was immediately available.

    It was a DC-9 by the way.
    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
