A US Airways flight from Philly to Newark had to make an emergency “belly landing” early Saturday morning after the plane’s landing gear on the left side of the aircraft jammed. Thankfully nobody was hurt during the dangerous landing. A “belly landing” is when a plane’s belly touches down on the runway causing sparks to fly which may lead to a fire. Emergency crews were on sight and quickly sprayed the plane and tarmac down to avoid flames post-landing at about 1.am. The Federal Aviation Administration is currently investigating what cause the plane malfunction which lead to the airport being shut down for an hour and planes being delayed for close to eight hours. Check out the video of the emergency landing below.
