A plane was forced to make an emergency landing in North Carolina after its front landing gear failed to deploy.
The Delta Airlines Boeing 717 landed nose-first with almost 100 passengers on board on Wednesday morning and remarkably no one was hurt.
A clip shows people inside the aircraft in brace positions before the plane eventually hit the ground.
The plane managed to land with its nose gear in the ‘up’ position, and come to a safe stop on the runway.
An investigation into what caused the malfunction has begun.
Airline officials confirmed that staff were aware of the malfunction as they prepared for landing, and began to climb again before the jet circled a few times and finally managing to land.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Delta said: “Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people.
“While this is a rare occurrence, Delta flight crews train extensively to safely manage through many scenarios and flight 1092 landed safely without reported injuries.
“Our next focus is to take care of our customers on this flight, including retrieving their bags and seeing them to their final destination.”
The pilot told the tower at Charlotte Douglas that 104 people were on board the plane.
One passenger told WSOC-TV that they had a ‘smooth’ landing.
They said: “The crew told us there was an issue with the landing gear and instructed us to go over safety information.
“We came in low once and then climbed again. The second time had us brace but the landing was smooth. No jarring or even loud noises.
“We were in the back so that may have been why. Everyone evacuated via slides. No injuries as far as I know. Crew and pilots were wonderful!”
