Tu-154 emergency landing

Postby Ivan » Wed Sep 08, 2010 2:09 pm

Landed on abandoned airfield full of trees, 1200m runway after generator failure. No fatalities / injuries, but 2 passengers decided to continue by train instead of taking the next plane to their destination

It sure is built like a tank! The gear (being rough field capable) certainly did its job here.
