Continental Plane Has Landing Gear Trouble

July 31, 2000

Some frightening moments this morning for passengers aboard a plane bound for Cleveland from Tampa International Airport. The Continental jet's landing gear locked into the down position and couldn't be raised. The pilot chose to divert to Orlando International because it has longer runways and is better equipped for such an emergency. The jet landed safely and was repaired before it headed to Cleveland.
