Alberta Tue Feb 8, 6:38 pm Emergency Landing

A Northwest Airlines DC-9 jet was forced to make an emergency landing today at the Calgary international airport. The plane, with 70 people on board, ran into mechanical problems shortly after takeoff this morning, but was able to land safely. The aircraft's primary stabilizer was the cause of the difficulty. That's the same problem that apparently caused the recent Alaska Airlines crash off California. Today's incident will be investigated by The Transportation Safety Board.
