MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) - A plane had to make an emergency landing at Miami International Airport.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to the runway just before 11 a.m., Tuesday.

The American Airlines 737, identified as Flight 2370, which had departed from Jamaica, reportedly had hydraulic problems.

One tire was blown out after it landed on Runway 9.

American Airlines officials said the plane was believed to have left Jamaica with a bad tire.

The pilot shut off the engine on the left side of the plane after hydraulic fluid leaked onto the runway.

No one was injured.

The plane has since been towed away and brought to Gate D20 as scheduled.
