Happy ending for Northwest flight that overshot Minneapolis …

MINNEAPOLIS – The mystery surrounding the Northwest Airlines flight that strayed 150 miles from its intended destination was resolved today as Northwest reported that the two pilots for the flight were never in the cockpit to begin with.

“We found them safe at home, hiding in a box,” said Northwest spokesperson Carol Foyler. “We’re just glad that this story had a happy ending.”

Despite the positive resolution to the pilots’ drama, Northwest said they were moving forward on a number of safety measures, such as banning the computer game Guitar Hero in the cockpit.

Two flying saucer jokes on consecutive days?

What’s next, an assortment of animal photos or a Nigerian buy-back opportunity?
