Northwest Jet Surprises Dayton Air Show (and Ends with Surprise Bus Trip)

Filed under: Travel Safety, News, Northwest — Rick Seaney @ 9:34 am

A Northwest plane had to make an emergency landing and disrupt a Dayton, Ohio air show Sunday because of a computer failure on one of its engines.

There were no injuries among the nearly 200 passengers aboard to flight, which was traveling from Tampa to Detroit.

No injuries, but probably a lot of frustration — since the passengers then traveled to Detroit — by bus!

According to Mapquest, that’s about a 3-and-a-half-hour trip — which is about an hour longer than the entire flight from Tampa to Detroit.
