Anchorage to Phoenix flight diverted to Seattle


SEATTLE (AP) — A U.S. Airways flight from Anchorage, Alaska, to Phoenix made an emergency landing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport after one of its engines went out.

Seattle airport spokesman Perry Cooper says the Airbus A319 landed safely and none of the 130 people aboard was injured when Flight 149 was diverted to Sea-Tac around 5:45 a.m. Friday.

He says he doesn’t know the nature of the engine problem, but it posed no immediate danger.
