MINNEAPOLIS — A Northwest Airlines flight from Minneapolis to Las Vegas has landed safely after hitting a flock of pigeons shortly after takeoff. No one was hurt.

Melissa Scovronski, a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission, said the plane hit about 15 pigeons about 2:40 p.m. Saturday while departing from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. She said it landed safely back in Minneapolis.

Northwest said flight 195 had 202 passengers and seven crew members aboard. Spokeswoman Ashley Black said all the passengers were moved to another Northwest flight.

Well... this is hardly a "Northwest Airlines" incident... As if airlines were responsible for hitting a flock of birds. Let's not get ridiculous...

You simply can't put this on the same level as the incident last week; this was a non-event in the sense that everything was done the way it should have been done and the aircraft landed safely, without damage or injuries to crew or pax. Well done to the crew on this one.
