Main gear failure leads to belly landing at Stuttgart

[Phil Bunch]

Detailed report is given at the URL below.  It's a good ending since all the people were safe, but the airliner seems to be a bit worse for the wear.  I hadn't personally heard about doing a 2G maneuver to try and force the landing gear down.

I like the comment from "PeterPan"...

"If you type in your Searchbar on Google: 'Did they put foam on the runway in Stuttgart Airport on 14 Sept?' 2650 results that says YES will pop up. Try arguing with that or have your eyes checked.You are clearly obsessed with foam, rather than the big picture. Now grow up."

Seems we are living in an age where Google rules over truth.

Peter Pan telling someone to grow up? lol... I wonder if the irony was intentional.

Cheers.
