Terrifying moment faulty Alaska Airlines jet makes very wobbly landing at Portland airport

An Alaska Airlines jet was forced to make a wobbly landing at Portland airport following a terrifying mid-air emergency.

The Embraer E175LR was travelling from Seattle, Washington, to Redmond, Oregon, when pilots discovered a problem with the steering.

A heart-stopping video shows the jet's front wheel wobbling violently as it touched down on the runway on Monday.

Another clip shows the dialogue between pilots and air traffic control as they navigate the landing.

Shortly after touching down, officials at PDX Airport confirm with the pilots whether the plane has lost steering.
