A small plane made an emergency landing at San Jose Mineta International Airport Tuesday morning sfter its landing gear collapsed, briefly closing a runway. All three people on board were uninjured.
The Beachcraft "Duke" twin engine plane had problems with its landing gear on the right wing, and landed on its belly at 10:33 a.m. The landing gear on the right wing collapsed once the plane landed.
"We still have the aircraft on the runway along with our firefighters," Barnes said. "The (Federal Aviation Administration) is still on scene as part of the investigative process."
The runway will remain closed until the FAA authorizes airport personnel to tow the plane, after which the runway can be inspected.
A parallel runway remains open, and Barnes said this morning's incident has had no impact on the airport's flight operations.
