The plane should land safely - we all hope.
I doubt a jungle jet like the Embraer 145 has the ability to dump fuel - so it might circle for a bit if it is full of fuel.
Where was it expected to fly from Houston?
To: oxcart
Fernandez sounds a bit frazzled. Referred to as a "Continental Express" flight, then he says he doesn't know what airline it is.
BTW, the Embraer 145 is a mini-jet. A 12,000 ft runway SHOULD be long enough for it.

I believe this is the type plane. . .
Both tires are gone from the left gear.

The flight crews are well trained to handle these emergencies. Although there is no rubber on the landing gear, the strut is designed to take a landing without the tires. I wish them well......

No tire = no brakes, no?
Any braking would be uneven...
Hope everything works out alright. Prayers.

May be circling another 30 minutes to burn off fuel, per KHOU.

I know this is a stupid question but, why don't they fly to their destination and have the emergency landing there? If it all works out the people are where they wanted to be and if it dosen't then they are screwed anyway.
