The F-15J Eagle’s landing gear apparently failed as it touched down on runway B shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday, a Japan Air Self-Defense spokesman said. The aircraft’s left wing contacted the runway before the fighter rolled to a stop.

Marine officials confirmed that emergency personnel were responding to an F-35 “aircraft mishap” that happened on a flight line.

Officials established a 1,000-foot safety cordon following a “ground mishap” at the home of the 51st Fighter Wing.
