Obama plane diverts to St. Louis

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI (CNN) - Barack Obama's plane made an unscheduled landing in St. Louis Monday after the pilot reported technical problems. The plane landed safely.

En route from Chicago to a campaign appearance in Charlotte, North Carolina, the pilot detected a "control ability issue" in the "pitch" of the plane. He said there was no need to assume the "brace" position and that he had "full authority of the aircraft."
