Ladies & gents, this is NOT a crash landing as the headline screams. This is called an Emergency Landing & BH everyone walked away from it. Big difference.
Polish Airlines? Maybe it wasn’t really a technical glitch. It may have been something like – “Landing Gear? Oh, I didn’t think we would need those anymore, so I left them in Newark!” or maybe “Which button opens the landing gear??”
