Malcolm Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Boeing's troubles continue: Three crashes {Incidents} in two days (msn.com) Boeing's troubles continue: Three crashes {incidents} in two days©Provided by Daily Mail A Boeing plane's tire burst during landing in Turkey today, the third passenger aircraft built by the manufacturing giant to suffer a technical problem or crash in just two days. A total of 190 people were evacuated from the aircraft after the Boeing 737-800, belonging to Turkey-based Corendon Airlines, stopped on the runway after landing at Gazipasa airport near the Mediterranean coastal town of Alanya. Pictures from the scene today showed the stationary aircraft on the tarmac flanked by emergency vehicles - its front wheels and landing gear crumpled underneath. Corendon Airlines denied Turkish reports that the aircraft had landed on its nose. While none of the 184 passengers and six crew members on the flight from Cologne, Germany to Turkey were injured, the dramatic landing was just the latest in a string of hair-raising incidents involving Boeing planes over the last two days. Boeing's troubles continue: Three crashes in two days©Instagram/thecrewlounge Earlier that same week there were two other incidents, one involving a 737 engine which caught fire after taking off from George Bush Airport bound for Fort Myers in Florida on March 4. The second saw a 256lb wheel drop from a United Airlines plane, a Boeing 777-200, shortly after take-off in San Francisco that crushed cars parked below as it plummeted to the ground. The United Airlines flight 35 was barely off the runway on its way to Osaka in Japan when it happened, prompting the plane carrying 235 passengers and 14 crew to be diverted to Los Angeles Airport. Even more safety failures have followed, including when a Boeing jet had to make an emergency landing in LAX due to hydraulic issues, after taking off from San Francisco on March 9. The list continues with a United Airlines Boeing 777 en route to Japan from San Francisco that was forced into an emergency landing in at LAX when it lost a tire on March 11. Another Boeing jet was forced to make an emergency landing in LAX after taking off from San Francisco due to hydraulic issues on March 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Powick Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Another wizard report by the Press........ (Couldn't get the gear down so did a wheels up landing...nice landing ) The Press.. Footage shows the plane approaching the runway without its landing gear activated before touching down and skidding along the tarmac until coming to a stop.
