LUCKY LANDING IN BRAZIL
It was a lucky escape for the crew and passengers on this jet, as it managed to make an emergency landing in Brasilia on Friday after its front wheels failed to deploy.
None of the 49 passengers or crew of 5 on the Avianca Brazil Fokker 100 jet were injured in the landing, as the pilot managed to land the plane on its rear landing gear before lowering the nose onto the runway.
The pilot had declared the emergency after spotting the fault and then circled the Brazilian capital to shed fuel and reduce the weight of the jet before attempting the landing.
After the plane successfully touched down, airport fire crews sprayed it with foam to prevent it from setting alight.

More than 58,000 Brazilians are living in Ireland with a growing number working in professional roles, a quarter having Irish partners and more than 40 per cent saying they do not intend to return to Brazil, according to a new report.
The survey, published on Friday by Brazil's embassy in Ireland, suggests 78.5 per cent of the estimated 58,500 Brazilians living in the State have arrived since 2016.
Despite high levels of fluency in English, participation in the workforce and social engagement with Irish people, 56 per cent of the respondents said they had experienced discrimination.
The survey findings suggest there has been a substantial evolution in the type of work being undertaken since Brazilians arrived in the 1990s to work in Irish meat processing plants and on construction sites.
It found 61 per cent of Brazilians in Ireland live in Dublin, with 8 per cent in Cork.
Mr. Biato described the research as "the first of its kind, a pioneering effort to provide a detailed profile of Brazilians living in this country".
With the research suggesting more than 80 per cent maintain strong links to home or their culture, Mr. Biato said the embassy was working to support a new generation of Brazilian-Irish who he hoped would be "true ambassadors of their dual inheritance".
