WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (AP) - Passengers were evacuated from a plane at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut when the nose gear of their aircraft collapsed as it was pushing away from the gate.

A spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration says 29 passengers and three crew members were taken off the Embraer 145 operated by Trans States Airlines, a contractor for US Airways, after the front landing gear on the Pittsburgh-bound flight collapsed at about 6:45 a.m. Tuesday.

No one was hurt.

A spokeswoman for US Airways says the cause of the collapse remains under investigation.

Passengers were placed on other flights.
