FYI - Flight No. was UA5316

Glad everyone is safe. "Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing." With that in mind, Google flight status shows as "Landed." I thought that was unintentionally humorous.

A SkyWest CRJ-200 (CR2), operated on behalf of United Express, made an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) this morning after pilots reported issues with its landing gear.

The plane landed without its left main gear extended on Runway 24L, and emergency vehicles immediately surrounded the stricken aircraft, which ended up with its left wing on the runway.

The plane was operating as United Flight 5316 from Monterey, CA (MRY). No injuries were reported, and the 43 passengers were able to disembark and board buses to the terminal area. CR2s typically have a crew of 2 pilots and one flight attendant.

The runway is currently closed, and LAX's official Twitter (@flyLAXairport) tweeted for passengers to check with their airline for up-to-date information about their flights.
Another FYI, 24L is one of the northern runways.
