As officials still search for a missing Malaysia plane, US Airways is dealing with a tragedy of its own.

Thursday (March 13) the pilot of US Airways flight 1702 was forced to abort takeoff while a tire on the front landing gear blew out.

No injuries were reported after the Airbus A320 made an unexpected stop on the runway.

The flight was en route to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport from Philadelphia International Airport.

The flight was carrying 149 passengers and five crew members. The crew used emergency slides to assist the passengers in getting off the plane.
