Boeing 737 makes emergency landing in Banjarmasin: A Boeing 737
carrying 108 people made an emergency landing at an airport at
Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, on Thursday after one of its two
engines failed, an airline official said. The plane, operated by
domestic airline Mandala, returned to Syamsuddin Noor airport
some 10 minutes after taking off, said a Mandala employee at the
airport. "There is no one hurt and despite an engine failure, the
plane only suffered from burst tires when landing," said the
employee, who identified himself as Burhan. The 100 passengers
had been transferred to another flight bound for Jakarta while
the tires were replaced, Burhan said. Eight crew were on board.
