The pilots did great, but I think the flight attendants also did their jobs well. I only saw a brief clip from inside, but the passengers were all braced and nobody was screaming. And that's an important job of the Flight Attendents. To make sure all the passengers know what to do and don't panic. Flight attendants aren't just there to serve you peanuts and juice, they are the ones trained to assist you when things go wrong and do everything they can to help ensure you are safe on that plane. Great job by everyone involved.
Nice! All did cooperate well! They pilots needs an oscars, flight attendants calmly evacuating passengers and finally, NO PASSENGERS TOOK THEIR LUGGAGE
Scary, but at the same time confidence-inspiring. Shows how there are protocols in place to deal with situations when things go wrong. This is part of the reason why air travel is statistically the safest way to travel. Even after decades of flying, I am always blown away by the miracle of human flight.
@@GeraldBoykin-dw9xe wtf are u saying lmao you arent speaking a coherent sentence to be understood. pls use your brain and write a clear sentence with your point, scrub
No but I call out BS when I see it..:) All commercial pilots are trained to the same level. Yes they are highly trained and so they should be but giving praise as if its some kind of heroic act is misplaced.@@Dime_time333
That happened to me too, in a 727, right main gear no green light (I was in the cockpit jumpseating). The 3rd officer tried manual (cables system with a hand crank) to no avail. Flew by the tower, and they said the gear looked down. The airport scrambled the firefighters, and the pilot looked at me and said, put your seat belt on real tight. He also said he had done a belly landing similar to this in another 727 in south america. Anyway, we landed fine, reverse thrust hard, and parked on the runway, and all got off the plane. It was about 1 in the morning on a Fedex jet a long time ago. I don't remember it being really scary, but just life. Might have been more scary if I was a passenger in the back ... don't know.
so impressive!! Pilots train and train and train for such eventualities, but so few ever have to experience it. Huge kudos to those Pilots and to Delta for training their pilots and cabin crew so well.
Honestly, it’s a basic landing. The back gear touches first, the plane slows down, and the front part of the plane slowly comes down. It’s not that hard.
Love delta. They have the best pilots and crew member. I would rather pay more for my ticket knowing my experience will be top notch. Well done crew and pilots.
The Gimli Glider (Air Canada flight 143, with a Boeing 767) also skidded down the runway on its nose, while all the friction did start a small fire it also helped slow the plane down.
As a Flight Attendant I am really upset that they were not mentioned here. While the pilots did amazing and got them on the ground, the flight attendants were in that cabin running through a crazy checklist with the passengers. Assisting them in an emergency is just as important.
Great that the pilots were able to bring plane in safely and without any injuries…loved hearing the joy and relief from the passengers. Now imagine if any of the unhinged behavior we’ve seen in hundreds of vids on planes was occurring at the same time!
Kudos to all crews specially Captain & Pilot, also ATC. It’s not the first time in US history, last time it happened in Bangladesh as well. All of these were successful, the best way to finish fuel before landing 🛬 . No one will understand the stress of passengers and their families where most passengers have wifi on board as well.
How boring will that episode be? Front gear doesn’t come down. Pilots land the plane then slowing put the front end down. They come to a stop..the end.
Great testimony about the advances in sensor technology that can alert the pilots. Great skills demonstrated to hold off the nose as long as possible once the main wheels are on the runway! 😊✨
Is it just me, or in a world with over a billion cell phones, full advance warning that they were landing without landing gear, a couple of advance passes over the runway.....no news is actually showing the landing? Only clapping inside the airplane and some concrete shots from inside the windows. Kinda bizarre. What did I miss?
Absolutely no big deal.. In fact landing without any gear at all (this had the main gear down) is perfectly OK. The airframes are designed to handle this.. Of course using the airplane again with require a little bit of "buffing out"..:)
No problem for you. And that’s just great. For those of us who aren’t quite as knowledgeable as you are, we were thrilled to see this landing safely on the ground and the 91 passengers CHEERING !!! A feel good story! What’s wrong with that ?????🙄🙄🙄🙄
Pilots train alot for these short of things, and that training paid off. Hopefully that 717 isn't a total lost and can fly again, not many T-tails flying these days
Pilots did a really good job for bringing the plane to a smooth landing At the same time they need to investigate the reason that put everyones life at risk should not be happening in the first place. Passengers lives mean a lot to their loved ones!!
If their front landing gear didn’t work why didn’t you say so you said their landing gear didn’t work! There’s a big difference JetBlue did the same thing landed without a front landing gear. Nothing happened just a lot of sparks that’s all.
Not to mention, those of us who are not that familiar with airline terms etc. I watch all sorts of airplane disasters, (🙄🙄) and I never know what ANYONE is talking about! And listening to videos of ATC and pilots ???? OMG ! It’s a foreign language and indecipherable !!! 😜😜
this is the perfect plane for it to happen to since the enginges are tail-mounted, much safer as funny as it sounds than a plane like an a320 landing without landing gear
Airline pilots do this in the simulator all the time, they think it over in their sleep, with their eyes closed, while eating lunch, working out at the gym, peeing, going at it in the bedroom, etc. They know what they're doing for sure! I'm sure Mr. Hörnfeldt (Mentour Pilot) is excited, not about the last example I cite, but about doing a video about this incident FOR SURE! And I hope you all have an "ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC" day!
What a coincidence, the Titan submersible did the same thing a few days ago. Well, at least these flight tickets were way cheaper and the plane kept in 1 piece.
You cannot compare this to what happened to that sub. COUNTLESS aircraft have landed either without the front gear or with a locked front gear - never has then been an injury OTHER than during a rushed evacuation.
@@Andrew-um6nyot even close to the same. Every system and aspect of an aircraft is certified. There are design assurances and redundancies. Of course, they are still machines and things can happen, though rare. To compare an airliner and it’s certification to a dude with his thumb in the air and “that looks about right” is laughable. This was certainly an emergency situation that the pilots managed well, it’s also one they practice regularly and we’re likely not all that concerned in the cockpit. The media needs it to be a bigger deal than it is.
Boeing 727 historically had nose gear deployment issues. Boeing 717's are being replaced soon by Delta. These older planes tend to have issues like this.
Lets not forget about the employees that helped in the tower.... team work , keeps people alive ...
they did nothing, pilots did
Now if only the same principle (teamwork) can be applied to the nation and the world (keeping people alive)...
Team work makes the Dream work.
FACTS!!!
How about the delta employees who didn't inspect the plane properly..
The pilots did great, but I think the flight attendants also did their jobs well. I only saw a brief clip from inside, but the passengers were all braced and nobody was screaming. And that's an important job of the Flight Attendents. To make sure all the passengers know what to do and don't panic.

Yep. Its like the old saying goes "there is nothing to fear except fear itself." ; if panic happens, people can get hurt as a result.
Those pilots and flight attendants were amazing !!!!!! God bless them all.
How absolutely frightening. Kudos to the pilot for landing the aircraft safely.
The pilots and crew deserve the applause.
Nice! All did cooperate well! They pilots needs an oscars, flight attendants calmly evacuating passengers and finally, NO PASSENGERS TOOK THEIR LUGGAGE

Same training as any other pilot gets.
Thankful that everyone is safe!
No matter how many times you fly, always fasten your seat belt, and be ready for any emergency.
Thank God for that pilot and their skill to get them down safely!!
Your genocidal sky daddy had nothing to do with it
These pilots need to be acknowledged everyday
I agree!!
Captain told passengers to brace for impact, passenger pull out phone to record
They were bracing and most importantly not screaming. You just like to be negative
😂😂😂
Lol
Human nature. Recall the moment of their deaths or alive.
@@M_SC it was the front landing gear c'mon it'd be fine and clearly was fine
I’m just glad everyone is OK. that must’ve been so terrifying for everyone on that flight.
Yet another miracle from our American pilot!
Apparently, none of Spirt Airlines planes have gear because every landing sounds and looks like this.
Dur hur hur! You’re funny! Do Spirit pilots come over to McDonalds and critique your French fry making skills?
This is the only time clapping after landing is allowed 👏🏼😂
The Gimli Glider (Air Canada flight 143, with a Boeing 767) also skidded down the runway on its nose, while all the friction did start a small fire it also helped slow the plane down.
The gear was the least if their problems

Delta is still a good airline. Good job pilots!
yes they are very good for not maintaining the their old fleet of planes there should be no margin of error in maintenance of the aircraft
@@cindy1010us You have a good point.
There has been a lot of vehicular incidents lately. We better tighten up
Kudos to pilots
Nailed it!!! Good job to all.
That is great airmanship. ✈️
Wow!!!! That could've had a horrible ending! Hatsoff to the flight crew!!!
Great that the pilots were able to bring plane in safely and without any injuries…loved hearing the joy and relief from the passengers. Now imagine if any of the unhinged behavior we’ve seen in hundreds of vids on planes was occurring at the same time!
Smoother landing than Ryan Air

Why nobody recorder the landing from outside????
It had been determined that Stockton rush was the last inspector of those landing gear
Praise God and the pilots!
I've had worse landings with all the wheels down. Lol these pilots made it business as usual. This is why i fly Delta.
The Flight Channel gonna have a time reproducing this one. Awesome Job Flight Crew
Right i am so ready to see what went wrong
How boring will that episode be? Front gear doesn’t come down. Pilots land the plane then slowing put the front end down. They come to a stop..the end.
Thank God He protected all onboard this plane whose nose gear did not deploy for landing.
Great testimony about the advances in sensor technology that can alert the pilots. Great skills demonstrated to hold off the nose as long as possible once the main wheels are on the runway! 😊✨
Wow, amazing!!! Congratulations to the pilots
Passenger caught the exact angle where you can see the shadow silhouette profile showing no landing gear in the front
My heart would’ve dropped. Omg, I’d be scared to death. Glad all is ok.
Praise God that everyone is okay and praise God for the wisdom of the Delta pilots

Thats a smoother landing than most flights ive been in
This is Pilot's Professionalism!
Bravo to the pilots!!! job well done!!!! I'll fly with you any day.
What's even better that the front nose wasn't damage, as I would have thought.
Fantastic pilots
Like a movie in live action. 👏👏👏 the pilot
That pilot is the best! Great job all around!
And that’s why the Pilots make the Big Bucks! Bravo!!
Bro good thing rest in peace😢

Delta flight 717 now arriving at gate 9, gate 10, gate 11.....
Nice job on those pilots!!!
A Boeing 717 originally built by McDonnel Douglas as the MD95
Pilots did a really good job for bringing the plane to a smooth landing
At the same time they need to investigate the reason that put everyones life at risk should not be happening in the first place. Passengers lives mean a lot to their loved ones!!
You know you're in Italy when the passengers clap regardless of whether it's an emergency landing or not.
ATC: we need gear to land
Pilot: Nah who needs it anyway
If their front landing gear didn’t work why didn’t you say so you said their landing gear didn’t work! There’s a big difference JetBlue did the same thing landed without a front landing gear. Nothing happened just a lot of sparks that’s all.

The pilot be like.
Please let me keep my job.
CEO we dont know yet but your in!
Where’s the video footage, outside of the plane, that shows the landing? Thinking people would like to know.
this is the perfect plane for it to happen to since the enginges are tail-mounted, much safer as funny as it sounds than a plane like an a320 landing without landing gear
Even a B737/B320 would have been fine with only the nose gear not down. Main gear worked fine.
front landing gear are extremely precise assemblies which can fail....the no gear landing is fairly safe for the airliner and the passengers aboard.
Funny, it says LaGuardia Airport at 2:43 but that looks like Newark Airport in the background.
Lol
Dafuq is delta doing at Newark?
Let’s consider adding a $10 Pi camera so pilots can see whether the landing gear is down.
Dumb.
Or how about a indicator light to show its status. Oh wait!
Airline pilots do this in the simulator all the time, they think it over in their sleep, with their eyes closed, while eating lunch, working out at the gym, peeing, going at it in the bedroom, etc. They know what they're doing for sure!

Well, at least these flight tickets were way cheaper and the plane kept in 1 piece.
Wait, the plane imploded? I seem to have missed that part
#skills #how2wrench training needed?
Normal available gear landing. The landing is a scheduling convenience. The gear is used so the aircraft can be flown on the next flight.
2:12 interesting, on the ATC recording they’re heard rejecting the offer to do a fly-by
who cares how many millions flights it delayed. how often u see safe landing with no one injured for a large plane like that.
Crap like this still happens. No matter how many times ppl try to convince “it’s safer than driving a car” is going to comfort me from this fear
lmao tell me youre unintelligent pleb without telling me. ok. dont fly planes then and drive everywhere. lol. your loss. smh
Pilots really can be heroes
Lol that landing is smoother than some I have seen
Did the passengers get their stuff back? And I’m happy that they did not die
pretty skilled pilot

Sadly, the news report thanked the pilots but made no mention of who they were. 😢
Good work, anyway, flight crew!
'00 Boeing 717. Nose-Gear failed to lower.
Impressive flight crew all around for sure, job very well done!!
@1:07 you see the shadow of the nose wheel sticking out to the front but not down.
Kudos to the crew! 👏
Listen to ATC recording no flyby they declined and this is really practiced everyday and not a big deal.

this scares me because i have a delta flight in a couple days, but i feel like i will be safe because i flown with them before and it is awesome
Those little workhorses fly way too much, too old, and i am not too surprised this happened, so happy everyone is safe:)
I think Delta’s planning on replacing these aircraft with the 737 MAX in coming years.
No gear crank down on this plane ?
Boeing 727 historically had nose gear deployment issues. Boeing 717's are being replaced soon by Delta. These older planes tend to have issues like this.
Why is there clearly a ban on showing the video of the landing
need to find ways to make $$$ from allowing access to the video
Because TH-cam sucks.
1:20 Some people chose to film the event rather than assume crash position.
. . . Priorities, priorities, priorities . . .
I thought the landing gear could be used manually. Has this changed in new plane designs?
