Just lucky the Dash 8 still had another wheel left to land on... Dont think this even got a mention on the news..

That is the reason the F50 sported a twin nosewheel...the F-27 had no fall back if something happened to the single unit.

A serious incident no doubt but imagine losing an engine like those poor folks on that Qantas A380.

Thats when I'd really need a new nappy.

In a way Eddie

, but the design allows for the remaining wheel to take the load.

Indeed it does Garry. But having worked in an airport environment. This would qualify for the full circus turnout. (Fire/Police/Ambulance/Media)

Everyone on the airstrip would be prepared and ready for the the emergency arrival.

We all know that its only a precaution but the drills remain in place.

Which is good to see.
