    What: United Airlines Airbus 319 en route from Chicago to Newark
    Where: Newark NJ
    When: Jan 10, 2010, 9:30 a.m.
    Who: 48 passengers 5 crew
    Why: On landing, the plane’s right gear failed to properly deploy. After maintaining a holding pattern attempting to extend the landing gear (etc), the pilot landed. It was, apparently a safe landing, causing airport delays but no reported injuries, not even during the slide evacuation.

    On landing, the plane lurched to one side; and the airport was closed down for safety concerns.

    George’s Point of View

    We have emergency landings all the time all over the world. This website attests to that. But after the year Airbus has had, whenever I hear there’s an Airbus incident, even if it is only a small one, my hair—what little I have—stands on end. I can’t help believing that they should take this plane back to the drawing board and start over.
