Minneapolis flight diverted after carbon monoxide scare

(KTTC) -- A Northwest Airlines plane was diverted to Grand Rapids, Michigan Wednesday after a possible carbon monoxide leak.

The flight from Minneapolis to Cleveland landed after pilots said they felt lightheaded and had tingling in their hands and feet.

On the ground, emergency workers reported possible traces of carbon monoxide in the cockpit.

The pilots were fine and no problems were reported from the 47 passengers and three members on flight 3947.

Most of the passengers continued on to Detroit on another plane Wednesday evening.
