May told Denver7 there were 160 passengers and seven crew members on the plane.
One passenger told Denver7 the "plane took a weird turn, then was bumpy. Most people probably didn't know what was happening."
The Spokane airport was closed for about two hours while authorities made sure planes could adequately brake.
The Airport is temporarily closed while we take measures to assure adequate braking conditions have been established.
