A Northwest Airlines plane made an emergency landing Sunday at Dayton International Airport, interrupting the city's air show.

Northwest officials say the Boeing 757 was en route from Tampa, Florida to Detroit when a computer for one of its engines failed.

She says the computer failure prompted the crew to shut down the engine and land as a precaution.

Nobody was injured.

Six crew members and 182 passengers were on board.

The Dayton Air Show at the airport was halted while the plane landed but resumed less than 1- hour later.
