CNN is reporting that a Midwest 717 is having problems with its left main landing gear and will attempt a landing, nothing more then that right now.

What's the weather like up there? I hope it's not slick.
I'm surprised to see this from a new aircraft, but I guess it can happen to any.

Cessna 6MA Kennedy tower, Rwy 31L, CLEAERD TO LAND!
Touched down, it was right landing gear door that was left open.
Great job Pilots and crew.

That's happened a few times before on the 717, TWA had two incidents of the main door gear not closing. Atleast it wasn't a serious problem and everyone was safe.
Yes, I recall one happeneing at STL, took off, gear door would not close and returned back to STL.Originally Posted by T-Bird76

from what i saw on the video it looked like either a tire was flat or door gear didn't close. was dark, couldn't see.
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
Ironically it was Midwest's newest aircraft, ship 924, only 2 months old.
