Delta Jetliner On Way To Detroit Makes Emergency Safe Return To Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Delta Air Lines flight safely returned to Los Angeles International Airport after it developed a hydraulic problem shortly after taking off for Detroit.

The Federal Aviation Administration says Flight 1594 landed safely at LAX shortly before 2:30 p.m. Thursday after the pilot reported a "flight control issue" involving hydraulics.

The Boeing 757 had 125 passengers and six crew members on board.

Delta says the plane is being checked out at a remote parking area and passengers will take another plane to Detroit later in the day.
