A trans-Pacific American Airlines flight heading to South Korea landed safely in Japan on Tuesday after developing trouble with a generator, an airline spokesman told AP.

A public relations representative for the airline in Japan earlier told The Associated Press that it was a problem in one of the engines, not the fuel issue. AP Reports
