Runways reopen after plane collapse

Officials are hoping to reopen both runways at New York’s LaGuardia Airport after a plane’s landing gear collapsed, sending it skidding along the tarmac and causing operations to be suspended.

A jet whose nose gear collapsed after landing at a New York airport has been removed from the runway.

LaGuardia Airport said a crane loaded the plane onto a flatbed truck and it was taken to a hangar allowing both the airport’s runways to be put back in service.
