Wow, I wouldn't want to be the mechanic to put that back together...

 

[Andy Neill]

I'm impressed the guy taking the video stayed steady with this happening.

You can MEL the tire, as long as any bald spots on the remaining tire are not on the bottom.

 

[Brasilia Pup]

LOL, sounds like ASA maintenance...don't fix it, just defer it!

Jiminy Crickets! Talk about bad timing. First that it happened at all while someone had a video camera. Second someone filming it during a week when the NTSB releases information on the prior accident flight. However, I haven't seen anything about this on the cable networks.

And it happened going into the same airport that airlines last crash occured in the same type of plane.

well then, check out MSNBC (the worst news station) put video of 2 different incidents together.

I had no idea I could think less of MSNBC than I already did but apparently I was mistaken. Not even a hint of truth in that report. At least the Toronto news explained that the gear collapse was a separate incident.

Jesus-why not splice in the Concorde crash as well?

Wow! Just Wow. How can they get away with that? If I were Colgan I would sue the crap out of them.

If makes you wonder what other fantasy stories that they put together (Iraq, Iran, etc...)

No kidding.
The guys who video tape space ships, aliens, Bigfoot and other creatures need to take a lesson from this guy.

Couldn't agree with you more. That's complete BS, and Colgan should own MSNBC after that one. You have passengers scared enough to ride them, now they show this crap?
But it is MSNBC, they air nothing but BS

 

[9rj9]

Colgan is done.

 

[belchfire]

Oh, no! It had to be towed to the gate!

geeze...at least the tires and wheels were aligned with the longitudinal axis of the airframe, unlike an Airbus or two!

 

[The Prussian]

Are not all electronic devices to be turned off prior to landing???

Of Course. But do you really expect these passagengers to respect anything that crew members say to them.
