CHEEKTOWAGA, New York: A Northwest Airlines flight made an emergency landing at Buffalo Niagara International Airport Friday.
A 12-inch (30-centimeter) 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, 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.
No further information was immediately available.
