Plane makes emergency landing on belly in Warsaw, airport on lockdown (PHOTOS)
Warsaw’s main international airport has been forced to close after a plane landed on the runway without its front landing gear.
Emergency services were called to the scene after a Polish Airlines flight from Krakow to Warsaw reported landing gear issues to ground control. The son of one of the passengers, Martin Ino, tweeted a picture of the plane prone on the tarmac while firefighters sprayed fire retardant around the cabin.
Posting to Twitter, Chopin Airport confirmed the incident but said no injuries had been reported.
