NEWARK -- A United Airlines flight made an emergency landing at Newark Liberty International Airport this morning after its landing gear failed to deploy properly, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

United Airlines Flight 634 from Chicago with 53 people aboard landed safely after 9:30 a.m. at Newark, its intended destination, the Port Authority said.

Passengers were evacuated and there were no injuries.

The incident has knocked out a runway, causing delays of up to 45 minutes for departing flights, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The airplane, an Airbus 319, left Chicago's O'Hare International Airport just before 6 a.m., bound for Newark, according to the United Airlines website. Authorities did not explain what went wrong with the landing gear
ABC news, however, showed a photograph of what appears to be the disabled plane parked on the runway, with its right wing touching the ground, surrounded by emergency vehicles
