Default Saudi A330 Belly landing

http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel...f34f60175dc3d9

A SAUDI Arabian Airlines Airbus A330 jet made an emergency landing in the western Red Sea city of Jeddah, injuring 53 people, aviation officials said.

The Saudi aircraft was travelling from the Muslim holy city of Medina to Dhaka with 151 people on board, but had to be diverted to Jeddah after it suffered a malfunction in the hydraulic system, the kingdom’s Aviation Investigation Bureau said.

The plane suffered a malfunction of its landing gear and the captain was forced to land with the nose gear retracted after circling the airport for several hours to exhaust much of its fuel supply and after making two low passes.
