Bad day at BOS
 
Hope it doesn't involve a "carpet dance" in the Chief Pilots Office.

Man, that sucks. Gives me the chills.

I always love it when they say "the plane dumped some fuel."

The pictures show the nose gear doors open. If someone had moved the handle at the last second, as the "expert" said, wouldn't the mains be moved at least a bit. This one doesn't add up.

That guy is no expert. Where do they get these people?

Of course it does not add up. Lets say for the sake of argument that the pilots waited till the last second to drop the gear. The gear warning would have been screaming at them for some time before they got to the ground, unless the circuit breaker was pulled.

I agree. Embraer will probably be traveling to the states.

I hate ignorant media. Expert my a**.

Definitely is a disappointment that something like this has happened. I do hope that it was the aircraft and not the crew. After this, we can expect to have multiple "gear down" confirmations if it was the latter of the causes. Definitely awesome that the plane didn't light up. Good recovery guys!

I don't think it was a good recovery, they went around after the belly of the aircraft scraped the ground and flew around for an hour with unknown damage.
