Emergency landing in Madison

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Monday, July 21, 2008 - 5:09 p.m.

MADISON — A Northwest Airlines jetliner made a safe emergency landing in Madison today after the pilot reported a pressurization problem, an airline spokesman said.

Flight 126 with 115 passengers and a crew of six was flying from Minneapolis to O’Hare Airport in Chicago when the incident took place about 10:30 a.m., Northwest spokesman Vin Parker said.

"There was no danger to the passengers," he said. "It was a computer alerting the pilots that there may be an issue."

The flight was diverted to Dane County Regional Airport as a precaution, and no one was hurt, Parker said. The passengers were taken off the DC-9 to be bused to Chicago.
