BA passenger plane crash lands in Joburg – no injuries reported



JOHANNESBURG: -- A British Airways plane has been forced to make a crash landing at Johannesburg’s International airport.

Flight BA623 was scheduled to fly from Port Elizabeth in Cape Town to Johannesburg but had trouble landing due to faulty gear on the plane.

According to the Aviation Safety blog, the left-hand main landing gear collapsed as the plane landed. “The aircraft skidded on the left engine nacelle and wingtip before coming to rest on the runway.”

All 94 passengers and six crew were safely evacuated with no injuries reported.

Did the pilot know he had issues with his landing gear or was this a surprise on landing?

Only the pilots underwear can answer that.

Well at least the British Airways pilot did a good job landing the plane without having anyone killed or injured ! Well done to him.

From Aviation Herald:

A passenger reported the captain announced prior to landing that they would need to land without left main gear. The aircraft subsequently touched down at an angle and skidded along the runway with sparks spraying off the left hand side.

It was a Comair flight and not BA. Probably both pilots, Captain and First Officer, were involved in the landing. Either of "him" could be a man or a woman. Just saying

So true, I am sure the BBC will not make that error!
