Michigan Women's CBB Team Plane Makes Emergency Landing After Flying into Storm
The Michigan women's basketball team arrived safely in Ann Arbor early Sunday after initially making an emergency landing in Evansville, Indiana, per Angelique S. Chengelis of the Detroit News.
The team's charter plane flew into a storm Saturday night, while an aggressive descent caused the cabin to lose pressure with oxygen masks being deployed. The plane made a diverted landing in Evansville.
There were no injuries "other than being scared," spokesperson Sarah VanMetre told Chengelis.
