Is today international day of landing gear failure?

At least this one no one was injured thank goodness.

It wouldn't surprise me if we found out that the problems Boeing is having aren't unique to them.

Apparently NOT a Boeing. Woweee!

"ATR72 looks like, and what do you mean another boeing? only 1 crash this month has been a boeing and thats the South Korea one."

"No. This looks like a Embraer and the crash in South Korea is not Boeing’s fault. It looks like the likely cause was hydraulic failure and impact in air causing midair failure, potentially maintenance issues, but Boeing has not touched the aircraft for at least five years," said another user.
