Bad timing and location for this to happen. I am surprised the media has not ran with this story. Q400 operated by Colgan landing in Buffalo loses a wheel. Has all the points the media can use to sensationalize the "dangers" of regional airlines. Good for colgan this seems to be staying under the radar or this would just be another nail in the coffin.

Also, was some info on CNN as well.

1.) INBD ANTI SKID Light.
2.) Severe loss of Hydraulics
3.) After so much loss of fluid, they would have gone into ISO (ISOLATION) meaning that only rudder would have Hyd Power on the number 1 side.
4.) Loss of Hyd Pressure in number 1 system.
By looking at some of the other reports from other Colgan incidents, I think the company has some real issues. I am not sure if it is Maintenance, Training, Crews, or a combination of all of the above. But the way it looks, Flying Colgan with minimum wage flight crews, is like going to McDonalds for a Candle Light Dinner.
Just my opinion.
