The plane made a safe landing and no one was injured and the passengers were put on other flights.

They said the incident was unnerving but everyone remained calm.

“Really not as much commotion as I thought here would be. A few people were tense, I know I was,” passenger Steven Westmoreland said.

Northwest representatives said the incident is under investigation.

Though when I saw the flight land, all tired appeared to be intact and neither of them deflated. However Airport Ops, spent all night picking FOD off the runway
