Obama Jokes With Media After Unscheduled Plane Landing

The charter plane carrying Sen. Barack Obama made a safe, unscheduled landing in St. Louis after experiencing a maintenance issue en route from Chicago to Charlotte.

CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic reports the MD-80 Midwest charter flight's diversion was being called an "unscheduled stop," not an emergency.

After the plane landed safely, a smiling Sen. Obama went to the back of the plane where members of the media were seated.

"Everything's fine guys," he said. "Just thought we'd spice things up a little bit today, don't you think?"
