I've been watching the footage of the crash of the 777 at Dubai, and
something odd struck me as not right in the footage of the plane coming to a
stop. Then on the evening news, there is serious question as to if the landing
gear was deployed. Looking again closely at the footage, I cannot see the nose
gear doors open. Anyone else notice this?
Seems there was a similar incident with an Air India 747 about four years
ago in New Jersey. A tower controller noticed that there was no landing gear,
made a frantic radio call, and the gear was down and locked a few seconds
before touchdown.
