The plane's nose landing gear failed to deploy, but the pilots were still able to safely land the plane.
The passengers and crew exited the plane through the slides and were taken to the terminal on a bus.
"The crew told us there was an issue with the landing gear and instructed us to go over safety information," a passenger on the flight told local ABC affiliate WSOC. "We came in low once and then climbed again. Second time had us brace but the landing was smooth. No jarring or even loud noises. We were in the back so that may have been why. Everyone evacuated via slides. No injuries as far as I know. Crew and pilots were wonderful!"
