Moment Delta Air Lines pilot addressed passengers as his co-pilot made an emergency landing[YOUTUBE]V4VIUF5vBuU[/YOUTUBE]This is the moment a Delta Air Lines pilot told passengers the first officer would be making an emergency landing because he had been locked out of the cockpit.He stood up and calmly addressed the cabin during a flight from Minneapolis to Las Vegas on Thursday after the door malfunctioned.After taking a bathroom break, he tried to return to the controls but couldn't get back in, prompting the crew to make a distress call to McCarran International Airport. When the co-pilot landed 'perfectly', the 168 passengers on board broke out into applause.  Curry Russell who recorded the video said the situation was 'pretty crazy' but 'pretty exciting'. Another passenger, Jesse Dougherty, told ABC News: 'About half way through [the 2.5-hour flight] there seemed to be some talking at the front of the plane. You could see the captain out there,''There wasn't a huge panic but some confusion.' No one was injured in the emergency landing, which took place at McCarran International Airport at around 12.25pm.The first officer landed the Md-90 aircraft using the controls at his seat as he was more familiar with the layout.However, the first officer's seat doesn't allow access to the plane's taxi controls so the aircraft had to be towed from the runway to the gate, according to passenger Dougherty.Airport spokesman Christine Crews said the first officer completed an 'unassisted landing' which was taken 'very seriously'.She said: 'This was an unusual landing. He called the airport so that we would have ground response available.'Read more: <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2935209/Moment-Delta-Air-Lines-pilot-told-passengers-d-locked-cockpit-officer-going-make-emergency-landing.html#ixzz3QW2LECPt" target="_blank">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2935209/Moment-Delta-Air-Lines-pilot-told-passengers-d-locked-cockpit-officer-going-make-emergency-landing.html#ixzz3QW2LECPt</a></blockquote>
