Well, that wasn’t the smoothest landing.

When the landing gear of a Southwest Airlines plane collapsed at New York’s LaGuardia Airport on Monday, Phoenix-based backup dancer Simrin Player certainly got the scare of a lifetime.

Player also posted a photo to Instagram that showed the plane nose-down.

Player, originally from Salt Lake City, has appeared in music videos for Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Willow Smith, among other stars.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says they have `several’ accounts of people reporting physical injuries. The extent of the injuries was not immediately known. Officials say four people suffered anxiety attacks.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
