As Flight 348 arrived from Bentonville, Ark., air traffic controllers saw a puff of smoke from the jet's landing gear, said Elizabeth Isham Cory, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration. The plane then veered off the runway to the right, coming to rest about = 25 feet away on the grass, said Dave Jackson, an American Eagle spokesman. An initial examination found a flat tire on the landing gear. The Embraer 145 regional jet was carrying 40 passengers and three crew members, Cory said. They were taken by bus to a terminal. -----------------= ----------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2006 AP
