TETERBORO, New Jersey (WABC) -- A plane is attempting to make an emergency landing after it blew off two of its tires during takeoff at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey.

An airport source said the pilot took off around 10:50 a.m. after its two front tires blew off, and the plane is now circling the airport before it attempts to land.

Sources said 16 people are on board. The aircraft is a Gulfstream IV, a jet flown mainly for private and business use.

The aircraft was heading to London Luton Airport in Luton, England.

The plane was expected to land at Teterboro around 12:20 p.m., but it was diverted to Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport in Westfield, Massachusetts.

And yet two airplanes made of said fragile "aluminum" took down two steel and concrete twin skyscrapers on 9-11.

Ever hear of Newton's 2nd Law ?

Oh I hope they get sent to Kennedy, and that Steve has not retired (GCT). If I were ever in a plane in trouble, I would make the pilot let us listen to Steve as we landed or not..

How do they decide where to have them circle to dump fuel?

They only do that over minority neighborhoods.

Looks like a 180-degree turn over Bridgeport. Was heading toward Stamford, now heading east toward New Haven.
