Description photo 7

IN THIS PHOTO WE CAN SEE A SMALL REGIONAL JET WHICH HAS PERFORMED A BELLY LANDING, PROBABLY BECAUSE THE GEAR FAILED TO EXTEND PROPERLY. WE CAN SEE THAT THE NOSE WHEEL IS CORRECTLY EXTENDED, BUT THE AIRCRAFT IS LEANING TO ONE SIDE, WHICH WOULD APPEAR TO INDICATE THAT ONLY ONE HALF OF THE MAIN GEAR DEPLOYED CORRECTLY. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PICTURE WE CAN SEE A MEMBER OF GROUND CREW CARRYING LUGGAGE TO A NEARBY VEHICLE, AND IN THE BOTTOM LEFT PART OF THE PICTURE WE CAN SEE TWO POLICE OFFICERS. IN THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER WE CAN JUST ABOUT SEE THE FRONT OF AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE, PROBABLY A FIRE ENGINE.
