Northwest Airlines: Two emergency landings in as many days
These have been a bumpy few days for Northwest Airlines.First, on Sunday, a Northwest flight from Tampa to Detroit had to make an emergency landing in Dayton, Ohio after a computer for one of the engines malfunctioned, the Associated Press reports.
Then yesterday, a Northwest flight from Minneapolis to Chicago had to make an emergency landing in Madison, Wisconsin, when a gauge failure caused the pilot to think there had been a drop in cabin pressure.
The 115 passengers on board the flight had to be bused to Chicago, a Northwest spokesman told the AP.
In both cases, Northwest Airline officials said no one was injured.

And a third emergency landing in Detroit when the flt I was on at 3PM Detroit to Ft Lauderdale blew a tire on takeoff, had to dump fuel for 1 1/2 hrs and landed
'ever-so-carefully' back in Detroit to the runways full of emergency vehicles.
The pilot did a masterful job

I was on the same flight.
I had a lot of flights this year +/-45 and i never had a softly landing like this!!
I saw the tire going into the left engine but the staff did a correct job to keep the passengers quiet.
The pilot is trained for these problems so nothing to worry about.
