This is kind of crazy:

The Steelers' charter plane from Las Vegas made an emergency landing in Kansas City, Missouri, early Monday morning.

In all seriousness, glad all is O.K. When you think back to the Marshall tragedy, it's sort of amazing that with the amount of flights over however many years that nothing has happened among any of the pro sports teams. Certainly happy that this one ended without incident.

"Multiple Pittsburgh media outlets reported that the plane landed at KCI Airport at 3:55 a.m. CT because of oil pressure failure in one of the engines. Fire trucks were at the scene inspecting the Airbus A330-900, according to Pittsburgh CBS affiliate KDKA, which had a news crew aboard the plane."
