SWA makes emergency landing at KOAK

Hash: SHA1 [ Not that it matters much in this NG anymore, but it's still newsworthy, so what the hey! Anywho, this may put dents into JBU's, Skybus' and UPS service tonight. -Ed. ] http://www.ktvu.com/news/13434725/detail.html Jet Makes Emergency At Oakland Airport POSTED: 4:06 pm PDT June 3, 2007 UPDATED: 7:12 pm PDT June 3, 2007 OAKLAND -- The nose landing gear of a Southwest Airlines jet collapsed during an emergency landing at Oakland International Airport on Sunday, but none of the 119 passengers or crew were reported injured. Southwest Flight 3050 took off from Sacramento and was scheduled to land in San Diego. But after takeoff the plane reported problems with its landing gear. "The pilot flew out over the water near Oakland to call Southwest and go through the procedures to get gear down," said Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration. The pilot was diverted to Oakland to land, and on approach had three green lights in the cockpit showing the gear was operating properly, Gregor said. But after landing, the gear at the plane's nose collapsed and the plane skidded down the runway. "Unfortunately, the back landing gear landed just fine but the nose gear went up inside the aircraft and retracted," said airport spokeswoman Cyndy Johnson. All passengers were evacuated to the terminal. There were no injuries, Johnson said, and most passengers were already being put on other flights home. Delays at Oakland International are light, Johnson said, and incoming and outgoing flights are being diverted to an alternate runway.

Sounds like my kind of accident -- No one injured. -- If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead"? |
