    What: Saudi Arabian Airlines/Onur Air Airbus A300-600 en route from Madinah to Jeddah
    Where: Jeddah
    When: May 1 2012
    Who: 10 crew
    Why: Pilots had an indication of unsafe nose gear and landed without nose gear at Jeddah at 12:55. Emergency crew (reported as “civil defense but that could have been a translation error” sprayed the runway. The crew disembarked via slides. There were no injuries reported.

    The flight was “a special flight from the western town,” with ten crew and no passengers. We assume a ferry flight.

    The video shows mobile stairs that are up for the post flight check-up, but notice the steep angle of the slide at the rear of the plane.
