Pics of a Crushed Landing Gear
Remember the Jet Blue flight which had a twisted landing gear and had to make an emergency landing in LA? Well, apparently someone has posted photos from a similar accident which happened in 1992 photos of the damaged landing gear.
The extent of the damage is fascinating in a way — about half the wheel was filed away in the process of landing. That aside, it’s almost worth viewing for the snarky comments alone (”It’ll buff out.”, “Nothing a bit of duct tape won't fix.”, and others).
Update 2005-10-06: Apparently, the pics aren’t from the recent Jet Blue emergency landing but from one is 1992. Wording updated.

Those photos aren’t from the recent Airbus A320 incident, rather from a similar incident in 1992.
Oh, my bad. Thanks for the correction.
