Thumbs up Boeing 767 emergency landing in Warsaw

Quote:
A Boeing 767 with 230 people on board has made an emergency landing at Warsaw airport, apparently without its landing gear.

It appears the Polish Lot aircraft, en route from New York, circled the city to burn up fuel and allow emergency crews to gather in preparation for the landing.

A spokesman for the airline said none of the passengers was injured.

Footage (see link) showed the plane coming in to land, as the BBC's Jon Sopel explained.
I'd guess the captain still had use of all other controls and that's why the landing was "soft" - nevertheless, a remarkable piece of flying .....
