BA jet in airport 'hard landing'

A British Airways (BA) flight from Amsterdam with 71 people on board lost its front wheels in a "hard landing" at London City Airport.

Saw that on the Beeb's site yesterday, and for some reason, my thoughts drifted to certain IA forumeers. :))

well it's obviously not coz I've NEVER lost my nose wheels :)) they may have ended up in some strange places but they've always stayed attached :p

Didn't Prince Charles manage a similar stunt the last time he flew a 146?
