Emergency landing in Toronto

A Canadian aircraft leaving Las Vegas made a safe emergency landing early this morning in Toronto, after one of its two nose wheels became separated on takeoff. Canadian discount airline "Canada 3000" says the Boeing 757 was carrying 200 passengers from Las Vegas. The company says full emergency procedures and equipment were deployed when the aircraft landed at Toronto's Pearson airport. There were no injuries.
