A commercial plane with gear problems lands in a shower of sparks. Clear weather helped the pilot to land safely. (www.accuweather.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Let’s stop exaggerating our comments and diluting the message - a more appropriate headline/caption for this video would have been: "Skilled Captain pulls off smooth landing with gear issue – see sparks" - otherwise it’s just a big over-rated Yawn.
Thanks, the news reports had it as a DC9
it was DL1609 on 1/19. FlightAware lists it as an MD-88
Funny this past Wednesday evening a DELTA DC9 took off and returned to BWI when they could not raise the nose gear. Turned out that the doors would not open to allow the gear to retract. A door strut and cable had broken. One wonders if it is the same aircraft. A check of the aircraft registration number shows the plane to be the oldest DC9 in Deltas fleet one that came over from Northwest.
