Southwest flight had nose gear issue while landing at Midway airport, airline says

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chopper 7 was over the scene as first responders surrounded a Southwest Airlines flight at Chicago Midway International Airport Monday.



The video shows Chicago firefighters investigating the nose landing gear at about 7 a.m.



Flight 1243, also known as "California 1" departed from Fort Myers, Florida on Monday morning, the airline said.



While landing, both nose gear tires "lost air pressure" while landing in Chicago, the airline said in a statement.

Mechanics changed the tires and the aircraft was towed to the gate, Southwest said.
