I''ll assume most folks posting here are speaking tongue-in-cheek. I mean, wind shear can happen to anyone.

My guess: captain ran out of fuel. Could be wrong but a couple of eyewitnesses said it came by then dead quiet.

Glad no one seriously hurt, where''s the claim forms for ''lost or damaged'' baggage?

Attention Lost Luggage Dept...

The undercarriage was gone? Looks like a lot of lost luggage. I hope there were no pets down there.

Just glad every one made it out. Like they say" Any landing that you can walk away from is a good one"

heh heh heh, true... however, it''s also to say that "any landing where you can use the airplane again is a better landing". :)
