OMG.......!!! AN EMERGENCY LANDING AT NEWARK'S LIBERTY AIRPORT LAST NIGHT(FEB 27)......No one Injured!!!!!!!!!


want the "Good" news first or the "BAD" news first.............
doesn't matter............
the "Bad" news is ............there was an Emergency Landing last night at Newark.............BUT
the "Good" news is ............that Emergency landing......."Went off without a Hitch"..............PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!
Look what happened last night...at Newark Liberty.......Thank God no one injured!!!...the plane looks to be a United Express, Embaer 170??????..

 similar to the Embraer 145, I flew last Thursday from Newark to Ottawa...........on United....

BRAVO......!!!!
to the whole crew for keeping their cool!!!!......the link below has some video and the recording of the ATC.........exchanges......
the pilot requested a 'fly-by' so tower could observe if front 'landing gear' looked to be deployed properly!!......Mmmm

goes to show......,
