Damn, did you see the landing of the plane today with only one landing wheel?

Wow! is right! And they had the good sense to get out as quickly as possible, after it came to a stop, also.

Nice to see something good on the news for a change.

Edit: Thanks for posting the link, Viper GTS!

Unfortunately, CNN didn't intend for you to see such a clean emergency landing. I'm sure they would have preferred it go up in a fireball.

True. But I still like a happy ending, even if it doesn't sell ads.

okay, i just saw it. WOW, thats a crazy capture. I like the end part where the guy is totally thanking the pilot for landing the plane and not killing them all. WOW< i bet he was like &quot;MAN, you saved my life, i'm gonna get you laid tonight!~!!!!&quot;

I saw a guy crash once...he was in his takeoff roll, when his seat slid all the way back..his throttles were at full, and when he reached for the yoke it pulled all the way back...the plane took off, went straight up, stalled, and crashed into some small parked planes. I'll find the NTSB report if anyone cares.....

Wow~! Never seen such an incredible landing before. I'd hire that guy as my pilot any day, as long as he promises to use a working plane.

:D

I don't use the word &quot;amazing&quot; much - but this is AMAZING!!! It's a good thing that it was a small plane and not a 747 - that would have been a much different landing...
