TIMISOARA, Romania — A Romanian plane carrying 51 people made a safe emergency landing in western Romania and all the occupants escaped injury, officials said.
The Carpatair flight’s front landing gear became stuck, and the plane circled Timisoara International Airport for almost two hours Saturday, using up its fuel to avoid a potential fire, before it landed on a 200-yard-long bed of foam laid out by firefighters, officials said.
“We did our job without feeling like heroes,” Moldovan pilot Iurie Oleacov told reporters. “We weren’t scared; we are trained for these kinds of situations.”
