EXCITING ❤
Great skills thanks God those ppl are safe🙏
I’m amazed the pilot was able to keep the nose up, despite his massive balls weighing down the cockpit.
2010 called
@Blackbird ur mom called last night
destined for hundreds or thousands of likes
they weighed it down soo much that he collapsed the front gear.
Breaking: NBC defends ‘we’re coming for your children’ chant.
You feeling ok?
@TruthForJustice Feeling good..Target stock is continuing to fall.
Breaking news: another homophobic bigot willingly outs himself.
The Illuminati that caused this.
Wake up!
They know that a woman on this flight is going to have a great grandson that will expose them.
This is their 3rd attempt to stop this.
😂
Is there no manual device to lower the gear?
No, because it’s hydraulic. The space between the cockpit and the gear bay is stuffed with avionics and other things.
@Qettesh You are incorrect.
@Robert Smith he is correct!
Good skills, but I wonder if the pilot skipped this mundate device on the pre-trip?
Looks like the 717 is getting older and older
Where did he dump the fuel?
Trip was completed and they were on landing approach. If they had taken off then had a problem and needed to land again they might dump or just hold a pattern until under max landing weight depending on the situation.
Through the engines, during the flight. Why would they need to dump fuel if they were on approach to land anyway?
All your jets are out date! Those new bus pats need to become a reality. Things like this starting to happen more often.
Are they though? Anyone have statistics?
@Tommy L if Dal uses them for relief than no, it was a 1/5 chance. but if a 33 year old airframe Has the same route cycle it did first revenue than it’s just time to let go…newer techs already overwhelmed with having to be Boeing and airbus aware as far as parts go I doubt Dal has the cash flow to pay one for one, Dal has to come to terms about the 717. The 757 and 737ng are probably the only Boeing commercial airframes still airworthy from the legacy era.For Dal I’m a fan of the 17 but it’s just time…I’m only to assume they are either going to phase them out for a220 or might venture to a small batch of max 7s if Airbus doesn’t low-ball to get more a320neo orders idk but it makes sense…
…and they won’t charge any extra for the impromptu entertainment.
Poor girl must be hurting.
more news –Joe Biden just SCREAMED at a reporter for asking if he was involved “in [Hunter Biden’s] Chinese shake-down text message
Non-Union Mechanics, Delta Airlines
Flight attendants: “brace-brace-brace!”
Passengers: “in-sta-gram. Got it.”
Where did the ✈️ flight originate?
atlanta
another crazy moment in 2023 oof
Excellent work by these pilots. And the crew for preparing the passengers. #ishhappens
Delta needs to buy new plane and get rid of that old one
It’s not that old
Delta is rated the safest of all U.S. airlines, a nose gear malfunction occurred it is still the best airline, I chose it over all others for a good reason.
Not so fast. Two days ago departing Spokane, the Delta (skywest) flight attendant forced me to gate check my camera bag with six lithium ion batteries in it. I told the ramp attendant, who took the bag, and the flight attendant, who was more interested in me getting to my seat. (There was plenty of room under the seat for my bag). At the end of the flight, I notified the pilot, and copilot, who said they would have the bag pulled from the next flight. But, it was loaded onto an airbus, and arrived in Kansas City, with all six batteries still in the bag. That Delta crew cared nothing about passenger safety and put hundreds of souls at risk. Writing the “strongly worded letter” at this time.
Not an easy task to land it that way at all!!!! Bravo to the pilot!
“how does a nose gear work?” ….
Delta CREWS are the best!

Sooooo, no actual video of the landing? 🤦♀️
Where’s the footage of the Plane 🛫 landing from the vantage point of people on the ground ?
That’s gotta be SICK !
Still like
Delta, AAL, UAL
They’ve been good to me 👍
Reminds me of SouthWest flight 345.
The investigators confirmed – “it’s a Boeing”, as the reason for the crush.
It was designed by McDonnell Douglas
It was designed and built by McDonnell Douglas. Only called Boeing after they bought MD.
Kudos to the FAs!!! They’re the oft forgotten heroes of these situations!
I have not been to a plane… Explain for me
Great job keeping everyone safe !😊
the brand of the plane was never said one single time : great work of the lobbies !
