I hope the landing Gear failure doesnt lead to another safety matter for Boeing. Boeing already has a lot on the plate with the 737 MAX
I doubt it will.... The Max was a new design... this gear has been around for a Very Very long time.
Seems like VAS Aviation got the audio of the declaration and procedures

Scary....One of my friends was pilot #7 for Fedex. Paid for fuel with her credit card. These guys and gals are GREAT!!!!!!!
Appears to me that the No. 1 engine was still running(?) - sparks blown backwards (compared to fixed runway lighting) especially as the a/c slowed. Would the crew attempt to use engine thrust to counter friction pulling bird to the left? If so, it worked well - skilled pihot!
I thought so. Great job to the pilots! No surprise the egress is dangerous no matter how it's done.
Notice the nose wheel settled off the ground... Maybe that made the drop much higher than expected. Also, being at night (can't see much) and possible wing fire... I'd want to get outta there ASAP as well. Do cargo MODs even include any slides?
