Default LOT Polish B767 belly landing today Nov. 1

Hi guys,

Remember that video of a King Air landing gear up few years ago? Today a B767 did the same at my home airport in Warsaw, Poland.

LOT Polish Airlines B767 was on the way back from New York to Warsaw when the landing gear failed. The aircraft apparently circled for an hour burning as much fuel as possible while they prepared for an emergency belly up landing on the runway. Smooth and clean, the pilot made it and all 230 passengers plus crew are safe. Evacuation in progress at the moment.

Here's a link to the video showing the actual landing!

Please don't mind the language, the video should load load after an ad.

Edit: Added second video, showing the 767 slowing down, and obviously sparks/flames.
