“Were” uninjureD 😉. I saw 7 police vehicles respond but not one ambulance or firetruck
No, it’s actually “was” uninjured, as stated in the article. The pilot was uninjured. Thankfully.
All kinds of planes have landing gear mishaps, often it does not lower itself into landing position or it will not fully deploy. On some airliners it may be the front wheels or one assembly on one side only! Some day in the future some engineer will design landing gear that will be 100% reliable 100% of the time! He/she will collect a Nobel prize and become filthy rich. They made it to the Moon, so what seems to be the problem?
Thanks noisy. I stand corrected.
