The right landing gear collapsed on a Continental Connection flight landing at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Sunday afternoon. No one was injured.
Flight 9137 departed from the Bahamas and was making a scheduled landing in Fort Lauderdale shortly before 5 p.m., said airport spokesman Steve Belleme.
There were 23 people on board, including two pilots and a flight attendant.
The passengers were bused to the terminal while the disabled plane, which was tilted to the right side, remained on the closed runway, Belleme said.
An indicator in the cockpit showed the right landing gear on the Beech 1900 was unsafe, Belleme said.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office Fire Rescue rushed to the runway as a precaution.
