Front landing gear fails on Southwest 737 Jet
Southwest 737 crash lands at Laguardia airport. 3 Injuries reported. The Southwest flight 345 came in from Nashville. They don't know yet if it was a hard landing or the wheel wouldn't come down. (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Someone recorded the video from inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFs7A-Rkqko
Someone recoded a video of the crash from inside the plane. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say here. There is no way to edit your posts, right?
Nope
We are all Pilots....we don't mess up! Ever!
EVER! lol
I'm not a pilot so excuse my ignorance but this video makes it look like they touched down nose first instead of flared. If they knew the nose gear was malfunctioning I'm guessing they would want to land like the Jet Blue flight from years past and keep the nose up as long as possible to bleed speed.
So the video makes it look like a hard/bad landing and possibly the nose gear collapsed under stress?

Yup
I will theorize...KLGA runways are 7000'...RWY4, RWY's 13 and 31 terminate in Flushing Bay. RWY 22 terminates at a fence separating the airport from the Grand Central Parkway..
KLGA sits in a relatively small piece of property tucked between a large body of water and an urban environment.
It may be possible the pilot decided that using the entire runway to get the aircraft slowed before putting the nose down was not an option.
