Associated Press:

BERLIN — A spokesman for Berlin's Schoenefeld airport says a DC3 plane carrying 25 tourists has made an emergency landing near the airport and seven passengers were slightly injured.
Spokesman Ralf Kunkel said in a statement Saturday that it was not clear why the plane — a so called "raisin bomber" that takes tourists on tours commemorating the post-World War II Berlin Airlift — had to make the emergency landing right after takeoff Saturday afternoon.
Kunkel said all 25 passengers and three crew members left the plane under their own power. Schoenefeld airport was closed for 15 minutes but has reopened.
