Passenger jet lands safely despite wheel problem
A JetBlue airliner with faulty landing gear touched down safely at Los Angeles International Airport after circling the region for three hours with its front wheels turned sideways, unable to be retracted into the plane.
The pilot landed on the back wheels, then eased onto the awry front tyres, which shot flames along the runway before they were torn off. The metal landing gear scraped for the final yards as the plane came to a stop.
