Birmingham Airport Runway Closed After Emergency Landing
Imagine a small airplane trying to land, but its wheels didn't work properly.
This happened at Birmingham Airport in England.
The plane had to make an emergency landing, and the runway had to close down.
Thankfully, most people were okay, but one person had a small injury.
Because of this, some other airplanes had to land somewhere else, and some flights got delayed or canceled.
The airport is an important one in Britain, so it caused some disruption.

A small aircraft experienced landing gear failure, causing the emergency landing.
One person on board the aircraft sustained minor injuries.
