A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

Alaska Airlines Better Safe Emergency Landing than Sorry




What: Alaska Airlines 737
Where: Sky Harbor Airport
When: Wednesday night
Who: 141 passengers, no injuries
Why: When the indicator light showed a possible fire in the Auxillary Power Unit--a small jet engine at the back of the plane--the pilot returned to the airport. An infrared detector indicated that there was no fire.
