A charter flight en route to Houston, carrying the Detroit Pistons had to make an emergency landing at Hobby Airport.
A Houston Airport System spokesman says the crew of MD-80 displaying the Pistons team logo reported problems with the hydraulics operating the aircraft’s left-side landing gear and declared an emergency.
Airport spokesman Joshua Agunag says the aircraft with 44 passengers aboard landed without incident at 5:45 p.m. Monday and was able to taxi to a private air terminal, where passengers were let off.
Everyone was reported to be fine, but it's something that any passenger on a plane never wants to go through.
