MEMPHIS (WREG-TV) - A Northwest Airlink flight made an unscheduled landing at Memphis International Airport on Thursday, after running into turbulence.
The flight is operated by Memphis-based Pinnacle Airlines for Northwest Airlink. The Canadair Regional Jet 200 (CRJ) had 39 people on board when the emergency occurred.
The plane was bound for Huntsville, Alabama from Detroit, when it ran into turbulence in the Nashville area. That's when the pilot requested an emergency landing at Memphis. Pinnacle officials say the plane also reported a mechanical problem. The extent of that problem is not immediately known.
The flight landed in Memphis around 11:15 Thursday morning and departed for Huntsville around Noon.
So, why would they head to MEM when Huntsville is right off the nose? Any knowledge on this topic? Anybody want to fill the rest of us in on what happened? Hurry before the finger pointing begins.
