BBC News:
A Delta airplane landed safely without its front landing gear at the Charlotte-Douglas International airport in North Carolina, the airline said.
No injuries have been reported among the two pilots, flight attendants or 96 customers on board the flight.
The Boeing 717 remains on the runway following the mechanical issue, but all passengers have been evacuated.
The flight had left from Atlanta earlier on Wednesday.
In a statement to the BBC, Delta airlines called the morning’s events a “rare occurrence” but said that Delta crews “train extensively to safely manage through many scenarios and flight 1092 landed safely without reported injuries”.
“Our focus is now to take care of our customers on this flight, including retrieving their bags and seeing them to their final destinations safely,” Delta said.
