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.

So sorry about my ignorance but what happened here? Many questions but only one answer.
