Hopefully this clip will be available for longer:

(you have to watch an ad first and you will have to listen for Polish commentary).

That must have been "exciting" for the passengers. Was anybody injured? (Still not in the news in the US, yet.)

Looked like a nice smooth landing.

Are they going to change the companies slogan?

So far no injuries reported - airport spokesperson said everyone is OK.
 
Great landing. Did the luggage arrive yet?
 
I just realized, that flight came from NJ. I walked over to the grocery store this morning. Just imagine if I had taken a plane instead and that it had a stopover in Okęcie
 
Borek,

That is the second incident in less than a week, on October 26th you reported a similar https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=544219" where IranAir 727 landed with the nose gear retracted. I would love to see the maintenance history of the front end hydraulics for both of these planes. Funny, how the same thing happened less than a week apart though.

Rhody... :frown:

Pilot's name - Wrona - means hooded crow.
 
The second clip says it's only available to users in Poland...

It's good that no one was injured. =]
