*Please note I did not have what I needed to record the sound to my computer at the time, that is why there is none, but during the landing the flight attendant kept yelling "Get down, stay down" and after they stopped safely cheers and clapping began.
Emergency Landing in NYC from flight 4951 - How Two Pilots Saved Two Planes From Disaster at JFK
Nothing says welcome to New York City like a wing vomiting sparks as your airplane touches down at night. Just minutes before this video, the pilot radioed the news to JFK's air traffic control: "The right gear is stuck up."
"The other two are down," the Delta Airline Flight 4951 confirmed, cooler than a naked Ice Man playing hockey with polar bears. As he was making his final approach, the tower contacted him again. He confirmed that they couldn't get the gear down, and he received final speed and bearing information as the tower called the emergency ground crews to be ready at Runway 31: "Rescue 1, there are 64 souls on board and 3,000 gallons of fuel."
Thankfully, the pilot made a flawless landing, to much cheering from the relieved 60 passengers coming from Atlanta:
