An American Airlines spokesperson says that the pilot reported a possible mechanical issue prior to landing. It remains unclear what the issue was, despite early reports that the aircraft had suffered a blown tire. 

SkyCal was overhead as the plane taxied into a gate, where a boarding bridge was connected to allow passengers to de-board. 

There have been no reports of injury. 

The incident comes just days after a United Airlines plane, also a Boeing 777, that had taken off from San Francisco International Airport had to make an emergency landing at LAX after losing a tire. 

Again on Friday evening, another flight out of SFO had to make an emergency landing at LAX because of problems with the aircraft's hydraulic system.
