#ffffff">A Boeing 767 has made an emergency landing at Warsaw airport after its landing gear failed to operate.

The Polish Lot aircraft was en route from New York with 230 people on board.

The plane circled the city for an hour to burn up fuel and allow emergency crews to gather in preparation for the crash landing.

Unable to repair the damaged mechanism, the pilot had no choice but to try and land the aircraft on its fuselage.

A spokesman for the airline said none of the passengers was injured.
