The front landing gear of a Brazilian plane did not work well. The plane was heavy but the pilot went in circles around Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, to reduce the fuel amount to make it lighter. Later he landed well without anyone in the plane getting injured. The pilot landed the plane on its rear wheels. Once the plane landed, the crew members of the airport sprayed foam to prevent not to get caught on fire. Due to this, the runways were all closed. So many flights got delayed but everyone in the plane could escape safely.
