The convenient thing about belief is that you do not need any evidence, therefore you can believe what ever makes you comfortable without the need or search for evidence. :mrgreen: :shock: #-o

The Article in the first posting wrote: According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the pilot was unable to get the landing gear down. Officials say he even flew past the tower to show crews on the ground the issue.

The plane was held over the airport for two hours to burn fuel, and the pilot was given the choice to make an emergency landing on the runway or in the water.


So, according to the FAA (evidence) the belief is correct. The only assumption made (which is probably also correct) is the the front motor was off due to the intentional fuel starvation which isn't a far stretch.

I fail to see what was so inaccurate in the statement to prompt such a response.
