To get the plane off the ground again the airliner was stripped of all seats, galleys, etc. and given the bare minimum fuel for it's journey to the Salt Lake City International Airport. Or there was the Northwest A319 that landed at an Air Force base outside of Rapid City instead of the Rapid City Airport. Granted the runways were long enough to land and to take off again without difficulty however the passengers were alarmed when the plane came to a halt and was surrounded by armed men.
