FORT SMITH, Ark. (AP) - A Northwest Airlines jet was diverted to Fort Smith's airport Wednesday after three passengers locked themselves in a bathroom, officials said. No one was injured.
Flight 979, an Airbus A320 traveling from Memphis, Tenn., to Las Vegas, landed at Fort Smith late Wednesday morning, Northwest spokeswoman Mary Beth Schubert said. The plane carried 94 passengers and a crew of five.
Police and firefighters surrounded the aircraft, which was parked at the end of a runway.
Other passengers "were taken off and they are negotiating through the bathroom," said Jennifer Gordon, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Emergency Management.
Jim Harris, a spokesman for Gov. Mike Huckabee, said the men appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent.
