A passenger jet made an emergency landing Monday on a protective layer of foam at Germany's Stuttgart airport after having problems with its landing gear. One passenger was lightly injured and a stewardess was taken to a hospital for observation, said Contact Air, which operated the flight.
It said that all the passengers were able to leave the plan via its emergency slides. The plane was flying in from Berlin's Tegel airport with 73 passengers and five crew members on board, airline manager Manfred Gaertner said. The airline said despite several attempts, the crew had been unable to get the plane's landing gear to deploy fully. The jet landed on the foam with the landing gear only partly extended.
