OMAHA, Neb. (KABC) -- A SkyWest flight bound for Los Angeles International Airport turned around in the air soon after takeoff Monday and returned to a Nebraska airport after the plane's interphone system malfunctioned, leading to confusion onboard the aircraft, officials said.

Video recorded by a passenger shows police vehicles on that tarmac at Omaha's Eppley Airfield. Officers boarded the plane after Flight 6569 made an emergency landing.

The plane had traveled only 40 miles into the 1,300-mile journey before it turned back, according to an online flight tracker.
