A jetliner made an emergency landing today at Los Angeles International Airport with a landing gear problem, and no one was hurt, authorities said.
The jet landed safely shortly before about 8:45 a.m., and everyone got
off safely. An airport spokeswoman said there were 43 people aboard.
“A SkyWest regional jet was unable to extend its left main landing gear
and landed on Runway 24L with the gear retracted,” said Ian Gregor of the
Federal Aviation Administration. “The captain did not report any injuries.”
The passengers were placed on buses, and crews worked to remove the
aircraft from the runway.
