TORONTO - No one was hurt Sunday when the main landing gear of a Jazz airliner collapsed after it landed at Toronto's Pearson airport from Moncton, N.B., an airline official said.
Spokeswoman Manon Stuart said that after the CRJ-100 regional jet aircraft landed, the main landing gear buckled while the plane was moving from the active runway onto a taxiway.
The 37 passengers and three crew members aboard Flight AC8911 were not injured, Stuart said.
She said everyone was released following medical examination at the airport, and some passengers continued on to connecting flights.
This is the first time an incident like this has occurred involving this aircraft, a 50-seat Canadian regional jet, Stuart said. The incident is under investigation.
Jazz is a subsidiary of ACE Aviation.
 
And this happened to a Gulfstream Beech 1900 a few days before:

TAMPA, Fla. - Passengers onboard a plane touching down at Tampa International Airport Saturday night experienced a scary landing. The plane landed nose-first on the runway when its landing gear broke, WESH 2 News reported.
Police said that no one on board was hurt.
Officials said they don't know what caused the gear to break.
 
OMG The sky IS falling!!!!

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. - A Northwest Airlines flight made an emergency landing at Buffalo Niagara International Airport Friday.
A 12-inch hole opened up in the plane's fuselage, Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority officials said.
Northwest Airlines Flight 1411 experienced a loss of cabin pressure and smoke filled the cockpit during a flight between Syracuse and Detroit, airport spokesman Doug Hartmayer said.
The airport went on alert, and the plane landed safely with 95 people aboard.
The hole in the plane's hull was found after it landed.
Eagan-based Northwest Airlines Corp. issued a statement saying it was conducting an internal review. The airline said it brought in another plane from Detroit, and the passengers arrived in Detroit from Buffalo at 6:15 p.m. Northwest said it apologized to them for the inconvenience.
