Shocking Video: Pilot lands plane without front wheel

In a nail biting moment, a Myanmar National Airlines plane with 89 people on board made an emergency landing at Mandalay International Airport on Sunday, after the aircraft's landing gear failed. Following which, the pilot forced the jet into an emergency landing with no front wheels.

According to India TV reports, the Embraer 190 aircraft skidded down the runway at the airport before grinding to a stop. The pilot managed to land the plane on its nose, causing no injuries to the dozens of passengers and crew on board. A video which has become the talk of the town shows the plane landing on its rear wheels before the nose touched down on the runway. The plane skidded for about 25 seconds before it stopped.

Meanwhile, the airlines was cited saying to BBC that, Captain Myat Moe Aung circled the airport twice to allow air traffic controllers to determine if the landing gear was down. The aircraft had departed from Yangon and was approaching Mandalay when the pilot was unable to extend the front landing gear. He followed emergency procedures and burned excess fuel to reduce the aircraft's weight.

This shocking incident comes days after, a Biman Bangladesh Airlines plane crash-landed and slid off a runway while landing in Yangon airport during a storm on Wednesday, leaving 11 passengers injured.
