The New York Post is reporting that frightened passengers braced for a crash landing at Kennedy Airport today when the nose gear failed on their flight from Rio de Janeiro.
But it said that the gear on the Airbus A330 amazingly locked into the correct position as the plane was just 50 feet above the runway.
“It was like the hand of God turned the wheel,” said a Port Authority rescuer who was part of the disaster response crew put in place for the incident.
None of the 190 people aboard TAM Airlines Flight 8078 were hurt — despite getting the fright of their lives, the Post said.
