NZ's (PM) Clark hurt in mid-air scare
Advertisements [?]
New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark has been left badly bruised after an aircraft she was travelling in was forced to make an emergency landing.

The twin-engined Piper Aztec's door blew open when it hit turbulence at 8,000 feet (2,440m).

Two policemen tried to hold the door as the plane dived then landed at a nearby airstrip.

...

The prime minister's plane was flying from the tourist town of Rotorua in central North Island to the capital, Wellington, when the trouble started.
