Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 Make Emergency landing in Gatwick Airport

         
            Emergency landing: The flight from Gatwick to Las Vegas is back on the ground after its pilot landed it with only three-quarters of its landing gear down

Another terrible disaster have been avoided today in the airline sector, a Virgin Atlantic Jumbo jet carrying 447 passengers and 14 crew bound for Las Vegas developed a technical fault when it was airborne, the aircraft landing gears developed  some kind of technical problem,luckily enough the plane was still within British airspace,the Pilot have to turn back to Gatwick Airport.


             Once the plane had landed safely, emergency services immediately circled the Virgin Atlantic aircraft
The Jet circle  over Gatwick Airport for hours after dumping fuel in the south coast to minimize fire risk in case of force landing,it flew several low altitude passes for Engineers to inspect the landing Gears problem, the Plane later landed with only three quarter  of its landing gears down,a set of wheels at the star board wing refuse to drop,the Pilot has announce to the passengers to take the Brace position,fire service and emergency service were already on the ground  waiting.more pic and tweets from passengers

            Crying passengers on board a transatlantic Virgin flight have hailed a hero pilot after he was forced to perform an emergency landing on broken landing gear. Stills from a video show sparks from under the aircraft  during landing
