A Boeing 737 airplane carrying 93 passengers leaving San Jose this morning made an emergency landing in San Francisco after a cockpit warning light signaled a problem.
Shortly after Delta flight 1652 left Mineta San Jose International Airport for Atlanta at 6:25 a.m. today, pilots spotted a flashing light in the cockpit, which was later determined to be stemming from the fuel system, according Delta Airlines spokesman Anthony Black.
Officials thought it best to divert the plane to San Francisco International Airport, where Delta has a maintenance crew. Black said mechanics discovered that the fuel system was fine, but the warning system had malfunctioned.
As mechanics were trying to uncover the problem, Delta rebooked the passengers on other flights.
