EXCELLENT Landing Captain!! Perfect! You didn’t “Freakout” I hope you were Honored by your Company & your Customers!

[@vilmarosales]

Yeah right, he might get the bill for the repair.

[@michaellewis4632]

He didn’t freak out because his life depended on it

[@treciaperry8067]

​@@michaellewis4632some people just naturally have what it takes

​@@vilmarosalesthat would be sick but I can see it

[@Ballinhard8019]

Honored? Those guys don't even get paid until they sit down in the pilots seat. All their travel/flying commutes aren't even paid it's ridiculous

[@d_pete361]

That was pretty smooth. Ive been on planes that had a rougher landing with all the landing gear working.

[@chiarac3833]

Damn!!! That pilot should be nominated as Pilot of the Century! What a landing!!!

[@vilmarosales]

I think pilot Sully or Sullivan has that one.

[@treciaperry8067]

Amazing skills by the pilot

[@uuuultra]

first

[@mv4463]

The packages are going be late. But still delivered... thats all thanks to great pilots.

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

Bet they'll still be on time.

[@Steve.._.]

​@@JamaicanMeCrazydepends on how easily they can move the plane. Can't be unpacked right there, if it could they for sure would've been quick enough

it's fedex-you might get it next Christmas 🤣

Everyone praises the pilots, who rode it out, but it was the firemen, so quick to to arrive that prevented a worse disaster.

We praise God for safe landing. There would have been families mourning today. Great is your mercies towards them. We need to keep praying for these pilots that consistently lands these birds. The name of Jesus be praised!!!!

Not enough foam on that tarmac, and WHERE'S the emergency vehicles and fire trucks???

[@user-gd3ln4dj1c]

Why is the fire brigade not ready there at the runway? It takes a long time before any action seems to be taken.

[@kevinwatkins6615]

Where are the firetrucks?

[@The-Armed-Pacifist]

Whoops! Your delivery may be delayed.

[@fabiobandini]

OMG I hope all those packages are okay!!

[@aurtisanminer2827]

Fed Ex prolly cheaped out on maintenance.

[@SongJLikes]

Seemed like an eternity before the emergency ground team made contact

[@edezagon]

They were ready and waiting. They had to wait till the A/C made a full stop. There are other videos online where you see the trucks arriving quickly. No harm to pilots or packages. Super smooth work from 2 awesome pilots.

[@carpediemarts705]

Plot twist. Was a cargo full of clean underwear: total loss.

[@alice_and_friends]

It looks like flames burst out the moment it touched the ground. Can someone explain where the flames came from? Was it just from the friction?

[@margarethakloots5287]

It happened to me on a flight from LA To Amsterdam that landing gear didn’t work on 747 plane a long time ago The plane had to make circles before they got it going!!!

[@miketexas4549]

That fire truck crew needs training

[@a_god8269]

Boeing is that you???

Pretty sure it’s an airbus going off of the shape of the cockpit glass

It's a Boeing 767.

Whatever it is, big-ups to the designers who over-engineered it so it could survive such a landing

.... Does this mean my FedEx package is going to be late?

Captain: give max break power Co-pilot: sir we do have a landing gear.👁️👃👁️

Bad selection of framing - missing to show the firebrigade

"You can't park there!"

Oddly, that’s how my packages arrive from FedEx, too. Must be in their business plan.

[@twhitejr]

My package better arrive on time.

[@seanfagan8490]

Nothing surprises with FEDX we used. To service their Aircraft and they always wanted us to cut corners.

[@nerfherder33]

Let me guess... a BOEING plane.

[@TheAviationGuyID]

Not relevant

[@antoochibbo1355]

Nose landing gear failures are too frquent... Seems like something simple at least given all the other components on an aircraft

[@jodicotton1707]

Where was the foam? EMG ground crews not prepared.

[@CinciHawks]

Let me guess, another Boeing plane

[@MaryClareVideos]

The front looks like an Airbus A320 or A330. Boeings have pointier noses.

[@nagualdesign]

Let me guess, a twin-engine airplane with swept wings.

[@adlerzwei]

It's a Boeing.

[@theresae5362]

@@MaryClareVideos not an Airbus. That’s definitely a Boeing.

[@MaryClareVideos]

@@theresae5362 yup I was so wrong. I googled and saw it was in Istanbul and that it was a Boeing. One site said it was a 747 . Don’t those have 4 engines?

This has happened to Airbus planes a lot as well. It is not a manufacturer defect. Lol. Most likely a mx issue.

This has nothing to do with the manufacturer.

No Nissan frontier to assume the position of its failed nose gear?

[@marisaalanis8145]

Excellent pilot skills.

[@BigGuy10Points]

Is this a guaranteed hull write off? Or is this factored in when being designed and built?

[@richardbeckenbaugh1805]

Depends on how much and where the fuselage deflected. In the wrong area, 1 inch will make the aircraft uneconomical to fly. In the right area, it takes 5-8 inches of deflection before the plane is uneconomical to fly.

[@bigmike4011]

Definitely a Boeing 😂
