    VIDEO: Wheel Falls Off Continental/Colgan Q400 Landing @ BUF

    Toronto Sun:
    Wheel flies off Canuck plane

    Frightening moments as Q400 lands in Buffalo

    By TOM GODFREY, SUN MEDIA

    A terrifying moment was captured on tape by a Toronto-area family as a Continental Airlines flight lost one of its right wheels upon landing at Buffalo International Airport.

    The dramatic video of Flight 3268 was taken by a passenger and obtained by the Toronto Sun. It shows the plane en route from Newark arriving in Buffalo on Tuesday night.

    As first seen on torontosun.com yesterday, the video shows a tire and a piece of the wheel assembly detaching from the landing gear, shortly after touchdown. [Full Article]
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Or Bombardier, which has had an awful lot of problems with Q400 gear...though this could have been maintenance negligence.

    Makes me wonder why both wheels are necessary if none of the pax were in any danger.
