An airliner carrying 166 people has made a dramatic emergency landing with no front wheels and only one working engine.

Capital Airlines Flight 5759 ground to a halt at Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport in China’s southern Guangdong province at 11.58am on today with all 157 passengers and nine crew reported safe following the scare.

Footage from the scene shows those onboard screaming in terror at what had just unfolded.

They then leap out of the exit onto an emergency slide to safety.

The Beijing-based airlines said in a statement on China’s Twitter-like service Weibo that flight JD5759 left the Chinese capital at 8.17am and encountered wind shear while attempting to land in Macau at 11.40am.
