Cargo plane for UPS crash lands at Louisville International Airport
A small cargo plane carrying packages for United Parcel Service made a crash landing at the Louisville Airport early Tuesday morning when it had a mechanical failure. The Shorts 360 aircraft, which was delivering packages for UPS, had two pilots on board when it crashed on runway 17L. Neither of the pilots were injured, according to UPS spokesman Jim Mayer.

It appears that Thomas Novelly at the Courier Journal either doesn't know what a crash landing is or wanted to pump up his story somewhat. From what I read, the nose gear collapsed on landing.
And they complain when we complain about fake news
Sorry, but a gear failure is not a crash. News media is clueless. “Emergency landing” would have been a better choice of words.
Not unless the thing was on fire before the landing. An emergency landing is one which if not done immediately will result in castrophy. Most so-called ELs are not really emergencies..I prefer 'forced' or 'precautionary' as long as the a/c is reasonably controllable. And not burning.
When you break the plane (or car or boat or whatever) it is a crash.
I got a flat tire the other day, does that qualify as a crash?
Let's not histrionics of the Media, get the better of us.

I had a pretty bad crash the other day with my car, luckily I was able to change the broken windshield wiper fairly quickly ;)
Nonsense. A blown engine 'breaks' the device but is nowhere near a 'crash'.
