Oh balz. think I'm not even a contender.

Wow...NWA made it a whole month without a reported incident - until this.

Too bad that there isn't any video of this incident - like there was for the JetBlue A320 @ LAX back in 2005.

GRAND RAPIDS - A Northwest Airlines jet landed Saturday night at Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids after reporting an engine out.

The plane landed safely and emergency crews were on hand assessing the situation.

The jet landed on the main east - west runway.

Passengers remained on the plane while crews took a look at the engine.

On a side note, Mrs Peacock, in the study, with the rope.

If this whole thread weren't so funny, it would be macabre in the extreme.

 

[Kev3188]

I'll go with COS this time around...

I believe that was a 757-300. The only 757 models NWA has carbon brakes on. Sounds like a leaker.
A dual brake fire at the gate while pax are on the aircraft or departing the a/c, would make the news if it were any carrier other than scab air.

NWA flight makes emergency landing

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (AP) - A Northwest Airlines flight made an emergency landing at Buffalo Niagara International Airport Friday.

A 12-inch 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, airport 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.

Eagan-based Northwest Airlines Corp. issued a statement saying it was conducting an internal review. The airline said it brought in another plane from Detroit, and the passengers arrived in Detroit from Buffalo at 6:15 p.m. Northwest said it apologized to them for the inconvenience.
