At 13:55, as the airplane approached the runway, a landing gear filed to lock down and the pilot was forced to perform a belly landing. Everyone on board was safe. The Corps scrambled a response team as soon as the tragic news reached the HQs. It was all hands on deck to deal with the response efforts.
