A small plane made an emergency landing at a Florida airport, sliding off the runway, after one of its wheels dropped off while in flight. The plane skidded off the runway, sending sparks flying.

The wheel flew off while the plane was on its journey back from Belize. The pilot had to circle the airport several times in order to burn fuel before landing.

Emergency crews waited for the plane to touch down before approaching the scene. All four passengers walked away unharmed.
