A United Airlines jet made a dramatic landing at Newark Liberty International Airport yesterday, but its arrival was marred by a series of unexpected incidents. As the plane touched down on the runway, it clipped a tractor-trailer that had somehow strayed onto the airfield, causing significant damage to the vehicle. The collision also sent the tractor-trailer's wreckage crashing into a nearby light pole, which was left dangling precariously. Miraculously, no one on the plane or in the tractor-trailer was seriously injured, but authorities are still investigating how the tractor-trailer ended up on the runway in the first place.
