00:00Our top story tonight, a plane with malfunctioning landing gear was saved from disaster by a pickup truck.
00:08Inside the terminal, passengers awaiting their flights watched it all unfold.
00:12And it's going to crash or so, I think.
00:15This truck just comes out of nowhere and it just came right under it and the plane pleaded right on
00:21top of the truck.
00:22Meanwhile, inside the aircraft, passengers had been expecting the worst.
00:27We're going to be just circling.
00:28We could hear the grinding.
00:30That was really frightening.
00:31The truck, a Nissan Frontier, was driven by an airport mechanic.
00:36He says he doesn't consider himself a hero.
00:39I heard it come in over the radio.
00:40The plane was coming in so I just had to gas it and get it up to full speed.
00:44You know, I've got the Pro 4X off-roading package so this thing can handle some pretty rugged stuff.
00:49More, including reaction from pilots and air traffic control.
00:53That's coming up tonight.
