Jet Lands in Hillsboro with Broken Landing Gear

The pilot of a Lear jet managed to get five passengers down to the ground safely with its front landing gear deployed sideways.

Emergency crews lined the Hillsboro airport expecting the worst. 

But after burning over half it's 8,000 pound fuel load and making several low altitude passes, the jet landed safely on the runway. 

The plane was towed away for repairs and investigating. 

What caused the malfunction is still unknown.
