Obama plane diverted for mechanical issue

ST. LOUIS (UPI) -- A plane carrying U.S. presidential contender Barack Obama to Charlotte, N.C., Monday suffered a mechanical problem and diverted to St. Louis, officials said.

No one was injured.

The plane was en route from Chicago for a campaign appearance by the Illinois Democratic senator when the pilot radioed he was having problems with the plane's pitch. The aircraft was diverted to Lambert-St. Louis International Airport where fire trucks were on hand for the landing.

CNN reported Obama remained in his seat while the problem was addressed.
