Northwest Airlines Plane Mystery

Pilot Richard Cole of the Northwest Airlines jet that missed its destination by 150 miles says there was no disagreement in the cockpit, neither he nor the captain was napping and the passengers were never in any danger. "We were not asleep; we were not having an argument; we were not having a fight," Cole told the AP. <b>Photo: </b>Fox News Channel
