Default NWA/DAL Passenger Ignites IED

Fireworks set off aboard airliner - CNN.com

(CNN) -- A passenger on a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Detroit, Michigan, caused a brief disturbance Friday at the end of the trip by igniting firecrackers, a Delta Air Lines spokeswoman said.

The passenger was immediately subdued, according to Susan Elliott, spokeswoman for Delta, Northwest's parent company.

The incident resulted in some minor injuries, Elliott said.

The FBI is investigating, bureau spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said.

The Northwest plane, an Airbus 330, landed around noon ET. It was carrying 278 passengers.

The Transportation Security Administration had no immediate comment.
