Flight Makes Emergency Easter Landing

A spokesperson for Dallas-based Southwest Airlines said there was no fire on a plane that made an emergency landing Sunday night.

The plane was on its way to Austin from Florida when the pilot detected a problem in the cargo hold.

The pilot decided to land the plane at Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City, Fla.

The 104 passengers on the plane were taken to the Officer's Club at the base for Easter lunch and continued on their flight after another Southwest plane was brought to the base from Dallas.

No one on the plane was injured.
