Looked like an United Express E170 just landed on 19L with no nose gear deployed. Lots of sparks as the nose scraped along the runway. Hope everyone is OK. Anyone have more info?
A few minor injuries actually. All things considered, It was an excellent landing, watching it Live was interesting. It's still on RWY 19L, getting ready to move now. It was shuttle america, not UA as some have reported

Quoting AviatorTJ (Reply 10): United Express has been having one of those days. They had a CRJ go off the runway in WI today.
Technically these instances were two different airlines (SkyWest, Shuttle America) but that probably wasn't what you were saying. But does anyone else notice how things like this seem to happen close together? I know two NW aircraft had incidents within a week or two in August. Just coincidences of course.

Yes. It is kind of freaky actually. Seems like disasters happen in three's lately too.

Right, right. Unfortunately, for United, the stories (locally) have the //// with the story. Typically, these things (like others) happen in threes. I don't much care for anticipation of anything.

Yes, as a firefighter, that is a commonly held superstition amongst us. If we have had 2 calls during a shift, we know not to go to bed, because at some point...a 3rd one WILL be coming...probably when in the bathroom or in the middle of dinner...

Here are a couple links about the story. Plane apparently took off from DCA headed to DFW and blew a tire on takeoff, and made the emergency landing at IAD.

Interesting side note. 15minutes prior to this landing. NWA CRJ made an emergency landing on the same runway. Deplaned on the taxiway and had to be towed to the gate....
Every crash/incident is different. This turned out good but who is to say the next one is not going to break apart and crash into a million pieces.
Did you actually read my question correctly?
Quoting WINGS (Reply 21):
I have a question. If this incident was to occur to an B787 what degree of damage would one expect to a composite fuselage from such a landing?
Ill put it another way. If a similar incident was to occur to an B787 which is made up of composite fuselage what degree of damage would one expect.

26 Cadet57: Calm down... Heres the story, a few years ago, Firestone tires on Ford Explorers here in the US were having blowouts at high speeds, causing rollover
27 FlyTweed: Maybe I'm missing something, but at least in the shots, there are no ARFF or emergency vehicles... For having what I think is a fairly major issue, I'
28 N766UA: LOL that's not what he was talking about. He was saying WTF to the question about the 787 and composites which, by the way, seems perfectly valid. It
29 Lightsaber: Thanks for the info, although Skydogs gets the big cudos for those photos. Wow! I'm happy to hear no major injuries. Questions: Are the E-jets going
30 Hannigan: The two links above are to the wrong incident. This flight was attempting to land in IAD when the nose gear would not deploy. The routing was IAH-IAD.
31 RoseFlyer: " target=_blank>http://www.nbc4.com/news/9237936/det....html Those linkes are from May 18th about a US Airways flight. United does not fly from DCA to
32 N766UA: E170s don't hold 100 passengers... what the heck is the news talking about?
33 Desh: Gr8 shots Skydogs ! Its amazing since I am in DC and have heard nothing about this incident since morning - when did this happen ? Sorry - need local
34 ERAUgrad02: my bro flies these for republic. just 2 days ago departing ATL-IAD he had to return back to the airport because the gear wouldnt retract. they returne
35 B6JFKH81: Ours aren't considering the amount of cycles they are doing a day.
36 FlightShadow: Awesome shots buddy! The beauty of these forums...we don't miss a lot! But I pose one question - Why didn't this get the amount of coverage JetBlue 2
37 PDXflyer31: I had a funny feeling about those links as soon as I posted them. Seemed like too many discrepancies from what was originally discussed. But I figured
38 Midway2airtran: Blew a tire?? Must be the media's knowlege? Apparently it looks like the nosegear failed to retract, according to the pictures above. Glad all onboard
39 Loggat: Apparently, I'd say that the nosegear DID retract, but would not extend. The tires on the E170 are made by Dunlop and are not common to any other air
40 NorthStarDC4M: Because it wasnt in Lala land where news copters are more common than Starbucks and it wasnt a slow news day?
41 Skydogs: The shot of the nose sparking was pretty much taken as soon as it made contact. I assure you, that ARFF vehicles were there standing by. They were on
42 Boeinglover24: Also live here around DC..not really breaking news here right now.....Hey skydogs can you tell where you took those shots....one of the parking garage
43 EMBQA: Because the jetBlue flight flew around for a few hours before it landed. It sounds like these guys landed just after the first pass. I'm sure after f

45 B6JFKH81: Welcome to the age of flightlevel350.com....record everything and post it! LOL!
46 FlightShadow: I'll bet a fair amount of us might be caught doing that And the news coverage thing...valid points about the timing, but I think I like NorthStarDC4M
47 EMBQA: Keep in mind, this is from a different event. NOT from last night.
48 ContinentalGuy: This is incorrect info. The flight was on a IAH-IAD route and the nose gear would not deploy on landing. The DCA-DFW was operated by US Airways.
49 F9Animal: Yeah, that is pretty stupid actually! WTF is the guy doing? If that plane had jolted or bounced into the grass with a screeching stop, that lady woul
