The front landing gear of a flight arriving at New York's LaGuardia Airport collapsed on Monday right after the plane touched down on the runway, officials said, sending the aircraft skidding before it came to a halt.

Ten passengers were treated at the scene, with six being taken to a hospital with minor injuries, said Thomas Bosco, acting director of aviation for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees the area airports. The six crew members were taken to another hospital for observation.

LaGuardia, one of the area's busiest airports, was closed for more than an hour after the Boeing 737 jet landed about 5:40 pm.

Dallas-based Southwest said there were 150 people on Flight 345 coming from Nashville, Tenn.

Bosco said the nose gear of the plane collapsed when it landed, and "the aircraft skidded down the runway on its nose and then veered off and came to rest in the grass area".

Bosco said there was no advance warning of any problem before the landing.

Passenger Anniebell Hanna said the flight had been delayed leaving Nashville. Passengers had heard an announcement saying "something was wrong with a tire," she said, waiting in a room at LaGuardia several hours after the incident.

At LaGuardia, "when we got ready to land, we nosedived," she said. She and some family members were coming to New York for a visit. "I hit my head against the seat in front of me," she said.

Emergency crews were seen spraying foam toward the front end of the plane. The port authority said passengers exited the plane using emergency chutes.

Hanna said she was among the first to get off the plane, and could smell something burning when she got down to the tarmac. The passengers were put on a bus and taken to the terminal, where they were told to make lists of their possessions on the plane in order to get them back.

The airport was temporarily closed, but one of two runways was operating shortly after 7 pm, and Bosco said the port authority was hoping to have the airport fully open by Tuesday morning.

Richard Strauss, who was on a nearby plane waiting to take off for Washington, said the nose of the plane was "completely down on the ground. It's something that I've never seen before. It's bizarre."

Longtime pilot Patrick Smith, author of Cockpit Confidential: Everything You Need to Know About Air Travel, said landing gear incidents are not high on the list of worries for pilots.

"It doesn't happen very often, but I need to emphasize just how comparatively minor this is and how far, far down the hierarchy it is," he said. “From a pilot's perspective, this is nearly a non-issue. They make for good television, but this is far down the list of nightmares for pilots."
