Jet Makes Emergency At Oakland Airport

OAKLAND -- The nose landing gear of a Southwest Airlines jet collapsed
during an emergency landing at Oakland International Airport on Sunday,
but none of the 119 passengers or crew were reported injured.

Southwest Flight 3050 took off from Sacramento and was scheduled to
land in San Diego. But after takeoff the plane reported problems with
its landing gear.

"The pilot flew out over the water near Oakland to call Southwest and
go through the procedures to get gear down," said Ian Gregor, a
spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.

The pilot was diverted to Oakland to land, and on approach had three
green lights in the cockpit showing the gear was operating properly,
Gregor said. But after landing, the gear at the plane's nose collapsed
and the plane skidded down the runway.

"Unfortunately, the back landing gear landed just fine but the nose
gear went up inside the aircraft and retracted," said airport
spokeswoman Cyndy Johnson.

All passengers were evacuated to the terminal. There were no injuries,
Johnson said, and most passengers were already being put on other
flights home.

Delays at Oakland International are light, Johnson said, and incoming
and outgoing flights are being diverted to an alternate runway.

Sounds like my kind of accident -- No one injured.

All of WN's planes are like buses.

English isn't your first language, apparently.
