There have been no confirmed reports of injuries as this time, according to authorities.
As seen in a viral video of the incident that has gone viral on social media platforms such as Twitter and TikTok, a flight attendant is heard telling passengers that he understands that they have connecting flights to catch, but that “Believe it or not, we have bigger issues that we are trying to resolve.”
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that they will investigate, but that pilots are taught to deal with these kind of situations.
“Each landing gear has numerous tyres, and pilots are instructed on how to properly respond to these scenarios,” officials with the Federal Aviation Administration explained.###
