Heres the article:

Chantilly, Va. (AP) - A scary night for some passengers at Dulles airport (website - news) after a plane had to make an emergency landing there Wednesday.

A United spokeswoman says United Express flight 7512 landed just after 8:30 p.m. while its landing gear on the nose of the plane was still up.

The flight was headed to Dulles from Houston, Texas.

Fifty-six passengers and four crew members were on board at the time, and the passengers were evacuated while on the runway.

Washington Airports Authority spokeswoman Tara Hamilton says three people are being taken to local hospitals, but she did not know the nature of their injuries.

Did fat Americans cause the gear failure?

There are plenty of people in the US going hungry every day.

Hence the 2/3 rds of the U.S. population that is obese, 1/3 of which is probably diabetic.

Its their own fault. I'm talking about a country like brazil who thinks its all that when the majority of the people can't feed themselves.

I know Dulles I used to fly there at Independence. I had a captain try to land with the gear up but I took over the plane and saved the day.
