A Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta blew two tires Tuesday while landing at Los Angeles International Airport but nobody on board was hurt, although two runways at the busy airport were closed for several hours, authorities said.
Delta Flight 515 landed safely shortly after 1 p.m., authorities said.
The plane "came to rest on the taxi way after a possible issue with some of its tires," Delta said in a statement. It didn't indicate what caused the problem.

Margarett said they were kept on the plane for an hour before being bused to the terminal.
