“Salinger” co-author David Shields, Weinstein Co. publicist Emmy Chang, and eight others crash-landed at the Telluride Regional Airport Sunday — but luckily no one was injured.
"The left landing gear collapsed, and the Beechcraft 1900D turbo-prop skidded on its belly," the San Miguel County Sheriff's Office told the L.A. Times. "A warning light had indicated there was a problem with the equipment before landing ... so emergency crews were alerted and stood by as the plane touched down shortly after 1 p.m. Sunday."
Boulder lawyer Philip Rosmarin, a passenger on the flight, told the Denver Post the pilot did a remarkable job of landing safely.
The National Safety Transportation Board plans to investigate the incident.
The Weinstein Co. is distributing "Salinger," which was the main attraction of the final morning of the 40th Telluride Film Festival.
