US NTSB safety investigators said the Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 that crashed at LaGuardia airport on Monday landed on its front landing gear before its main gear touched down.
The National Transportation Safety board said the 737 plane pitched downward at a 3 degree angle when it landed.
The front landing gear subsequently collapsed and the plane slid for 19 seconds before coming to rest, injuring nine people, the NTSB said.
