Mechanical issue on that one. Interesting.

Thank you for sharing I’m on the A320 and never flown a Boeing product. Very hard to judge actual sink rate from the video but from my point of view it looks like a hard landing but nothing that I haven’t seen on the line where the plane was fine afterwards except for some egos.

Imagine if this leads to a "fleet wide" grounding/inspection of all slightly older 737's gear trunnion bolts. That's gonna be some domestic airline chaos.

A order like that would probably start with something like, “within the next 500 hours of service or 250 landings a trunnion bolt inspection must be conducted”. A Trunnion failure is rarely critical and normally does not cause a complete gear collapse. The landing did not look that hard in the video buts that could be deceptive. The answer to that question however I am sure has already been determined by the FDR. A Trunnion failure also does not normally drive the strut up through the wing. It might be months before the real cause is released. The recent Delta evacuation in Atlanta is rumored to be a hard landing but nothing is out yet.

However, I'm not sure they'd give those planes 500 hours. What if a crew tried to do a go-around? With the gear stuck down, part of the upper wing wrecked, and good chance of a dead or degraded motor... all on the same side. What's the Vmc for that? |

Since the trunnion thing is associated with a specific refurbishment procedure, presumably they could narrow it down to airframes which had been subject to said procedure, perhaps at specific shops. So hopefully not the entire fleet.
