ATLANTA -- A federal official says a Delta Air Lines flight bound for Oregon turned around and made an emergency landing in Atlanta after blowing a tire on takeoff.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the Boeing 737 left Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. headed to Portland but turned around once pilots realized a tire had blown.
She said the flight landed safely at 3 p.m. with no reports of injuries.
Delta spokesman Anthony Black said the flight had 160 passengers and 6 crew members. He said all passengers are being rescheduled for other flights to Portland.

It happened right at 80 kts.
There were no injuries, but a cheerleader was taken to the pilot lounge for observation.

However, I beleive it was the sheer mass of the Captains belly that put the stress on the controls.
