SAUDI AIRLINES -777 - wing damage - crash landing - emergency

SA FLIGHT from Jeddah to Riyadh on 10.03.08. Damage on right wing of 777 just a few minutes before landing at 900 m altitude. Hydraulic lines cut and fluids are draining huge hole in the top of the wing. This looks like mechanical failure of certain parts - it happend with a very loud bang right next to my window.

I know about this landing and it is a 777-200ER, just looked weird at first. This is a hydraulic failure, possibly due to bad maintenance. The confusing thing is that SV kept quiet. If it were CX or EK they would have announced it as they did with their previous incidents.

@EmadIV I don't think so. 747 has triple layered flaps. also the shape of inner aileron is different.

@infinitti555

I think so too.

The wing design looks like a 747-300 rather than a 777.
