4a) Smoking Wheels
A Northwest Airlines jet was evacuated at Wisconsin's Municipal Airport today after it was deemed unsafe to take off.
Passengers aboard Flight 428 were following up a flight from Minneapolis when a landing tower employee spotted smoke near the plane's wheels. All forty passengers were promptly escorted off, and the cause of the smoke is currently unknown.
4b) Missing Boy
A boy who had been missing for three years was found after a missing child alert was aired at a movie showing in Brick Township, New Jersey.
After recognizing the boy's picture in the alert that aired after the showing of Adam: The Song Continues, a neighbor promptly called the police. The boys' mother, one Ellen Lynn Conner, is now facing charges of kidnapping and interference with a custody warrant.
4a) I'd get the "smoke near the wheels" into the lead. It's short enough that you can do that. Also, "...all 40 passengers...." Review AP style for using numbers.
ReplyDelete4b) Good, except include the "when" (Thursday) in the lead. Also, it's a made-for-TV movie ... though I guess the fact sheet doesn't make that clear. I'll have to fix that.
