Northwest Airlines Flight 28 from Manila to Tokyo made an emergency landing in Tokyo when one set of its landing gear descended but did not lock into place. None of the 410 people aboard was injured. The emergency landing caused Tokyo's Narita Airport to close its only runway for nearly an hour and a half.
It was the second time in as many days that a Northwest plane had to make an emergency landing at this airport. The previous day, Northwest pilots had to return to the airport after indicator lights suggested their plane had an engine problem.
