  • Alaska Airlines Flight Makes Emergency Landing At Vancouver Airport
VANCOUVER — A U.S. passenger flight has made an emergency landing at Vancouver International Airport.
 
Alaska Airlines Flight 76 was en route between Juneau, Alaska, and Seattle, Wash., when problems arose with one of the plane's two electrical systems.
 
The Boeing 737-400 touched down in Vancouver shortly before 5 p.m. on Sunday.
