An American Airlines spokesperson told WSVN the aircraft experienced trouble with the main landing gear, but everyone on the flight was able to disembark safely and no serious injuries were reported.

As a result of the incident, all of the plane’s subsequent flights were canceled so repairs and a safety inspection could be conducted.
