OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla - An American Airlines flight between Dallas and Seattle has been diverted to Oklahoma City after passengers and crew heard "kind of a bang" and the plane lost cabin pressure.

Flight 621 landed at Will Rogers World Airport shortly before noon Wednesday. Airport spokeswoman Karen Carney says the plane landed without incident and no one was injured.

One of the 141 passengers aboard said the noise occurred about 10 to 15 minutes into the flight and that the pilot announced the plane had lost cabin pressure.

The passenger, Jack Conn of Dallas, says oxygen masks weren't deployed.

Carney says another aircraft is headed to the airport to pick up the passengers so they can resume their journey.

According to the flight tracking Web site Flight Aware, the jet is a Boeing MD-83.
