United SkyWest Jet Makes Emergency Landing At LAX
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A jetliner landed safely Monday at Los Angeles International Airport after a landing gear collapsed. The left wing of the United SkyWest regional jet scraped the ground on Runway 24 Left around 8:23 a.m. after its left landing gear failed to fully deploy, according the FAA. (losangeles.cbslocal.com) Más...The CBS website has a video of the landing, the crew did a fantastic job keeping the plane on the centerline.

I'm sure some of the passengers were shaken up by the experience, but you couldn't ask for a better outcome under the circumstances.

One of the PAX on CBS said landing was smoother than many "NORMAL" she had been in.
The pilots did a great job on this flight and should be commended.... However, knowing the CRJ200 as well as I do, and even writing a training course for the company that I worked for at the time and was required course with test for all mechanics in the company... This is a complicated gear system, but by the same token it is a very reliable gear. There are no gear doors on that plane (CRJ 200). Only thing that I can think of is something failed in the Manual Extension (maybe a cable broke). When the gear is up, the Hydraulics to the actuator is pressurized and the gear is basically just hanging onto the hook.. you pull the cable, and the hook releases the gear and it falls down... Very simple system.
I didn't run it down but CBS said it was a 700
They are totally incorrect...
1 picture shows no leading edge devices (FOX NEWS), and CBS below shows CRJ 200 engines (very distinctive). Note the tail number as being N932SW and per the FAA the aircraft is a CL-600-2B19 wich is a CRJ-200. (http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?omni=Home-N-Number&nNumberTxt=932SW)
The CRJ-700 has much different engines, leading edge slats, and is a model CL-600-2C10

Everyone who suggests a computer could fly the plane from take off to landing should watch this landing and they will realize good piloting requires a heartbeat.
