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

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.
