click on "emergency response to troubled plane"

An arrow tried to bounce the plane on the runway to get the stuck
landing gear to come down, but all it did was make the other three
gear get stuck in the down position.


The area firefighters have been under attack since they decided not to
respond to a plane crash in January in which 4 people died. A witness
walked to the firestation and reported it, yet the fire department
didn't think a little airplane required a fire truck. One official
received an official warning, another was asked to retire.
