ANA plane landed on its nose!

This morning at my office, most people were stared at what was happening on TV. It had been showing how a small ANA air plane landed without its front wheels. The plane once tried to land and pilots were expecting that the touch down would make the wheels to pop out, but it didn't. So, the plane was circling around to running out its gas for about 2 hours and finally decide to land with its nose touched. We all witnessed in front of TV, and we all applaused when it landed safely without anyone hurt.

One of my colleague said "I know it's awful to see that ANA has trouble with its palne's wheel, but afer watching this, I feel somehow convinced to take ANA because now it showed it's capable to handle the trouble pretty well. If it's JAL, the plane might have been in flame now..."
Now ANA (All Nippon Airways) is becoming the flag carrier and compete JAL (Japan Airline, the official flag carrier Airline, still...or not?). But JAL keep having a bad reputation in service while ANA attracts more people to fly with. This news could have been a good news for JAL, but it didn't seem to cause a bad reputation for ANA too much, nonetheless, we thought the ANA pilot had a great job, like my colleague said.

And yeah, I still prefer ANA for me to fly with.
Well, my favorite can be Virgin Atlantic ;)) (Not BA! Ew! No!)

You can watch the news on video at Japanese TV news website below. You go there and click the video clip (right side of the page) with either Real Player or Windows Media Player. It's quite something to see how an air plane could land quite smoothly without its front wheels!
