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.
