On July 22, 2013, a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 en route from Nashville,TN to La Guardia was making a landing when the nose gear collapsed.
Five passengers and 3 crew were injured on the slides and hospitalized.
There were 144 passengers and 6 crew aboard.

The airline confirmed a nose gear collapse, 5 passengers and 3 cabin crew reported injuries and were taken care of by local responders.
Asiana Flight 214 clipped a sea wall with its tail as it came in to land at the US airport and skidded out of control before catching fire at San Francisco’s international airport on July 6, killing three people and injuring dozens. Two months prior to the accident, South Korea’s transport ministry had requested Asiana Airlines Inc. to review safety measures.
On April 30, the Korean government told Asiana to hire more pilots, engineers and cabin crew, to centralize its safety management system and to set up oversight for aircraft maintenance.
Had Asiana complied with this directive? Did Asiana have adequate training for new pilots? Was the PIC aware of the situation of the SF airport? – South Korea’s Asiana Airlines will be subject of a three-week government investigation. These are some of the questions that the investigation should be covering.
Lee Kang-Kuk, a ten year pilot was 40 hours into his B777 flight training.

A Thomson Airways Boeing 787-800 en route from Manchester to Orlando on July 12 was enroute when technical problems–an electronic issue– developed.
Pilots diverted back to Manchester, circling Wales where they dumped fuel prior to securing a safe landing with emergency services on standby. Passengers were provided an alternative flight. A dedicated team of engineers inspected # G-TUIC.
The problem was reported to be a flushing issue.
An Ethiopian Airlines’ Queen of Sheba, a Boeing 787 #ET-AOP which had been sitting empty for eight hours caught fire and shut down Heathrow Airport for an hour Friday. The fire seems to have started in the upper fuselage, far from the 787’s lithium-ion batteries. A battery fire would have been “contained by the new casing and…smoke would have been vented outside of the airplane.” Nearly a dozen fire trucks responded to the scene. The plane was parked on the apron taxiway E at Stand 592 next to a fire station.
#ET-AOP had arrived from Addis Ababa as flight ET700 at 06:30a.m. Departure was scheduled as ET701 to Addis Ababa at 21:10.
In photos, damage appears on the outside top of the upper fuselage near the vertical stabilizer, on the left side of the top of the airplane just in front of the tail. The fire was not caused by lithium-ion batteries, which are in in the cargo-bay.
Potential causes of the fire:
NTSB Sends Investigator to Participate in Investigation of London Boeing 787 Dreamliner Fire
The National Transportation Safety Board has sent an investigator to assist in the investigation of a fire that occurred yesterday aboard a parked Boeing 787 Dreamliner at Heathrow Airport, London, England.
NTSB Senior Air Safety Investigator Lorenda Ward has been appointed as the traveling U.S. accredited representative. Ms. Ward will be accompanied by NTSB airplane systems investigators and representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing.
The investigation is being conducted by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) of the United Kingdom, which will release all information.
Some stories of the Asiana Crash in San Francisco
Currently there are 51 hospitalized, 8 in critical condition, one child. Five fire attendants are being treated for burns.
Federal investigators talked to the pilots why they shut down the autopilot 82 seconds before landing. This was the first time the pilot had landed a 777 at this airport. When the fire started in the middle of the plane, there were passengers still in the back that had to walk through the smoke to exit, passing people trapped in their seats. Flight attendants heroically got passengers out of the plane, and tried to put out the fire.
One passenger Eugene Ra describes the instants before the crash, looking out the window knowing they were too low. THe plane’s impact was powerful enough that it snapped the plane, and the spines of at least two of the passengers. The cabin filled with smoke and fear. After the plane stopped, there was silence.
The plane flew in too low and too slow, initiating a stick shaker (stall) warning, and struck the sea wall, severing art of the tail.

* A cautionary note: The official investigation of the cause of the crash will take a year or more. No matter what news releases or speculations come about before the official investigation is just speculation. We do not know, for example, if some part or software in the plane malfunctioned, leading the pilots to respond as they did.

On July 6 2013, an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 Flight 214 en route from Taipei made a hard landing on runway 28 at San Francisco international airport.
Rescue services—firefighters and ambulances—responded to the scene.
Passengers exited via air slides. On the video below, it appears the tail is missing. Other video shows the top of the aircraft is charred.
The Asiana Airlines #HL7742 landed hard, slid and/or cartwheeled, and came to rest with landing gear not visible. Debris–apparently the landing gear–is scattered down the runway. Smoke appeared to be coming from the side of the plane opposite from where passengers were exiting via slides. After the plane was on the ground, witnesses saw parts break off and a ball of fire. The attitude of the plane seemed normal but an apparent tailstrike may have damaged systems and limited flight control.
Air traffic to San Francisco international airport has been suspended.
Weather at the time of the accident (11:28 LT / 18:28 Z) was repored as:
KSFO 061756Z 21006KT 10SM FEW016 18/10 A2982 RMK AO2 SLP097 T01780100 10183 20128 51005

A Turkish Airlines Istanbul-Athens Boeing 737-800 made an emergency landing on July 5 after a bid strike.
After takeoff from Ataturk International Airport at 7:40, the plane hit a flock of birds.
The pilot returned to the airport and made a safe landing with damaged engine baffles.
Passengers disembarked and were provided an alternative flight.
July 2, 2013, a Korean Air Boeing 777 with 273 passengers aboard was en route from Chicago to Seoul when it had a drop in pressure as jet fuel was being pumped into the engine. The left engine broke down. After the malfunction, the pilots dumped fuel and diverted to Anadyr airport in Russia, where they made an emergency landing.
Passengers had to wait inside the plane until the replacement jet arrived, so that with ten hours on the ground made a 13 hour flight almost 24 hours long for passengers.
The malfunctioning jet was grounded in Russia pending inspection.
As Anadyr airport is not one we have visited, we wonder if there is no Customs facility at Anadyr airport for individuals without visas to get some relief from the plane, which had to be exceedingly uncomfortable. Certainly there must be some humane way to abide by international law.
This excessive time stretches some IATA standards of passenger accommodation from both airline and airport. The question isn’t whether passengers are entitled to some kind of compensation for their time and trouble, but rather how the airline and airport are going to recompense the passengers.
I was on a pilot talk forum and saw that a US Airways Flight 799, a B757 200 from AMS to PHL (that’s Amsterdam to Philadelphia) sprung a leak and diverted to Lajes on the 26th or 27th.
Lajes in the Azores. Tourists there. Also an airbase.
OF all the places in the world to get stranded, imagine getting stranded in Lajes.
Apparently after the passengers were picked up the next day, their replacement flight was diverted too.
I wonder how much the passengers will want the compensation package that will be offered to them (probably free tickets for more US Airways flights…)
A Thomson Airways Boeing 787-8 sustained a bird strike on a Manchester—Cardiff—Shannon flight on the Cardiff-Shannon leg.
On taking off from Cardiff, the bird strike occurred. The pilot reported that all systems appeared operational. Pilots continued to Shannon and made a safe landing with emergency services on standby.
On the ground, the flight did not need to be towed but continued under its own power.
Maintenance did confirm evidence of damage in the jet’s right side engine. The training flight was cancelled and crews worked on the damaged engine.
This is listed as a training flight of a recently delivered jet.
On June 24, 2013, a United Boeing 787 Houston to Denver flight developed an issue with the brakes (or brake indicator) and made an emergency landing. Details about the specific problem were not released.
The flight left Houston at 9.12am and arrived in in Houston at 11:58 a.m.
None of the 219 passengers and 13 crew members sustained any injury. Maintenance examined the plane. The plane was returned to service.
Stranded passengers were provided travel solutions by a Boeing field service representative.
