Power Failure Sparks Chaos for Airline

From Times Wire Reports
A power failure delayed or forced the cancellation of scores of Northwest Airlines flights around the country.
Airline spokeswoman Mary Stanik said the outage took place at a Northwest installation in suburban Eagan, near Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. She said the power failure created a computer problem, but she would not give details.
The outage also caused tie-ups on the ground because arriving planes could not go to their gates until the departing Northwest flights could leave.
