Video of an emergency landing of an ExpressJet E-145XR

Not sure how but they blew 2 tires on take off and this video shows their landing. They made it look easy for sure. Hats off to the crew.

I heard that an American Eagle E145 went off the runway today due to blow tires as well but I haven’t tracked down any info on that yet.

They did so to help counteract the yawing from the left wheels being flat. Nice work though.

Indeed – a very good landing – interesting to see they only employed the starboard engine reverser too…

I second that, just a perfect landing, although here’s the downer according to the commentator….. 😀
