FedEx plane without landing gear skids off runway, but lands safely at Tennessee airport

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Officials say a FedEx plane skidded off the runway during a crash landing at a Tennessee airport when its landing gear did not descend, but no one was injured. The Chattanooga Fire Department said in a tweet that public safety agencies rushed to the Chattanooga Regional Airport late Wednesday after reports that the plane had experienced a landing gear failure. The agency said the aircraft with three crew members came to rest beyond the runway in a safety area. A FedEx spokesperson told news outlets that the flight from Chattanooga to Memphis experienced an issue right after takeoff. The National Transportation Safety Board said it was investigating.
