The video shows the horrifying moment when a pilot managed to land his stricken plane safely. The twin-engine private plane, which had four people on board, was flying from Belize in Central America to Tampa, Florida. The pilot was told that one of the wheels on the plane's landing gear had fallen off soon after he took off the plane. He then proceeded to circle, dumping fuel - which would have dangerously increased the chance of a fire or explosion.
The landing went as smoothly as possible, but eventually the plane spun out and violently lurched to the left, coming to a stop on the grass next to the tarmac. The fault didn't affect the plane and he was able to take control on the problem and it didn't affect the plane's ability to fly. It continued to fly on from Belize to Sarasota-Bradenton airport in Florida.
