I wonder how long it will take to clear that runway.
Am I correct in supposing they'll probably be able to lift the airplane with those huge airbags and pull the gear down?
Those pics are so good it almost looks fake! Great Camera
AP Article today on Yahoo finance stated that "the planes central hydraulic system failed a half-hour into the flight" from Newark.
Yet they crossed the ocean like that.....
You do have redundancy with two systems available, one hydraulic system out is not an emergency nor cause to divert. This was a non event until they activated the alternate gear extension and nothing happened, their though process wasn't at all one of doing a belly landing but rather at what weight they were going to do a flaps 20 landing, go back or do it 70,000lbs lighter.
