ADDISON (CBSDFW.COM) - A Cessna plane made a belly landing in Addison on Sunday. It happened just after 11 a.m. at the Addison Municipal Airport.

Airport crews cleared the runway; towing the crippled aircraft into a hangar.

The Federal Aviation Administration was alerted and an investigation into why the landing gear didn't work is ongoing.
