Kudos to the crew getting it down and stopped without injury. Interestingly enough, right around this time last year another Air Wisconsin CRJ200 went off of an icy runway in Providence RI (PVD) and if I recall, it was the left main gear that collapsed. Obviously just a coincidence and two different situations of course....

I'm glad to see nobody was hurt also. There was also a nose gear up landing by a Gulfstream Airlines Beech 1900 in DuBois earlier in the month also. Maybe PA just has bad chi this winter? I sure hope not.

Nice reporting...

The crew could not get the landing gear to "descend"? Actually, the landing gear descended when the plane descended.

Oh, it wouldn't "extend"? That's different.
