Nearly three and a half hours after emergency vehicles were called out to the runway at San Diego International Airport on Wednesday when a small jet's front landing gear collapsed, SAN reopened to air traffic.
No one was injured in the incident, which occurred at about 6 p.m. when the aircraft was taking off. Airport officials quickly declared a ground stop while crews worked to clear the private jet off the runway. Jonathan Heller with the San Diego International Airport said the jet was taking off when the nose gear collapsed.
"The aircraft came to a stop without any injuries to those on board," Heller told NBC 7. "However, it became disabled on the runway, causing the runway’s temporary closure. All inbound flights are currently being diverted to other airports. We have no further details at this time."
