Quote:Passengers scramble to safety after plane makes rough landing at airport
A plane has made a dramatic emergency landing after running into trouble above Essendon Fields in Melbourne this afternoon.
Emergency services responded to the runway about 6pm after reports the landing gear of the plane was not working.
The pilot was forced to burn off fuel for more than 15 minutes, according to the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB)
The 9NEWS chopper camera captured the aircraft hitting the runway with force, with smoke seen coming from the wheels as it came to a stop.
All five people onboard were shown running from the door of the plane, with two girls hugging on the tarmac.
No one was injured in the incident.
More to come.
