Due to a problem with landing gear doors, an American Airlines MD-80 made an emergency landing at Sea-Tac Airport on Monday, Oct. 25.
The flight from Dallas landed shortly after 11 a.m.-an hour behind its scheduled arrival time.
KIRO TV helicopter video showed two open doors that were hanging between the plane's rear wheels.
According to American Airlines, the landing gear was working but the doors that open to let the landing gear down were malfunctioning.
None of the 140 passengers and five crew members were injured as the plane landed safely. The plane is out of service until it is repaired.
