Plane carrying 230 passengers crash lands in Warsaw

[Jodell88]

A Boeing 767 carrying 230 passengers has made an emergency landing at Warsaw airport after its landing gear failed.

The plane, which was travelling from the US city of Newark, in New Jersey, landed on its belly without its wheels.

It had circled above the Polish city for over an hour burning up fuel as the airport was prepared for the crash landing.

The Polish airline Lot, which operated the flight, said all safety procedures had worked and that no-one was injured.

It was a perfect landing. Just as if the gear was there. Except for the noise and the sparks...

Nice pilot skills....

That looked like a smoother landing than some of the ones I've been a part of WITH landing gear

Curious, what do they do now to get it off the runway? Call a tow truck?

All interior seats will need to be replaced after passengers crapped all over them. At least the miracle on the Hudson thing happened fast, the passengers didn't have to worry very long. Those poor people were forced to wait an hour circling knowing they would have to crash-land eventually. That's got to mess with your mind big time.

Some friends have flown with that pilot a few times. Passengers are unable to tell when the plane contacts the ground when he lands the plane.
