THE GALLEY WAS TURNED OFF AND THE ODOR SUBSIDED. A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER THE ODOR RETURNED AND COULD BE SMELLED IN THE COCKPIT. THE FLIGHT WAS OVER KANSAS CITY SO THE FLIGHT CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND RECEIVED A CLEARANCE TO KANSAS CITY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. DURING THE DESCENT THE FLIGHT CREW MANUALLY FLEW THE AIRCRAFT AND CHECKED ALL THE FLIGHT CONTROLS AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
