Omg, like can you even imagine being on that runway when that plane was making its emergency landing without wheels? I mean, I'm so relieved to know that both crew members are safe and sound, but still, it's crazy to think about what could've happened if the fire got out of control. The fact that they were able to make it down safely is just a testament to their training and professionalism.

And I'm sure NASA will get to the bottom of what went wrong - hopefully they can learn from this incident and maybe even implement some new safety measures to prevent something like this from happening again. It's just one of those things that makes you appreciate the risks that astronauts take on a daily basis, you know?

Ugh, can't believe people are still freaking out about this ! Like, come on, a plane made an emergency landing without its landing gear and somehow everyone's worried about it . The fact that both crew members are safe is what matters, not the drama surrounding the whole thing. And let's be real, the 1970s was a looong time ago - some mechanical failures were bound to happen . I mean, the plane has been flying for decades and still managed to make it through all those years without incident...I guess this just goes to show that even the most reliable things can fail sometimes . Still, it's kinda cool that NASA is being transparent about their investigation - at least we know they're on top of it !

I'm still shook thinking about that crazy plane landing! Like, how do you even survive a crash like that? The footage is insane, flames shooting out from beneath it and smoke everywhere... What if both crew members weren't as lucky? Glad they're safe though! NASA's got some old planes, I mean, the WB-57 has been around since the 70s... Still, you'd think with all the tech advancements they've made, they should have some better safety measures in place.

omg can you even imagine being on that plane !! i mean, just think about how crazy it must've been for those two pilots to be like "hey we got a problem here" and then just... land without gears lolol i'm just glad they're safe though, no one deserves that kind of stress in their life. i feel bad for the crew who had to deal with that mechanical failure but like, at least it's out now so they can figure out what happened & fix it or whatever i wonder how many times those planes have been in this situation without anyone getting hurt

oh my gosh, that's insane!!! i mean, i've seen some crazy things in my life, but a plane without landing gear on the runway? that's just wow . I can imagine how scary it must have been for those witnesses to see flames shooting out from underneath the plane and smoke everywhere. thankfully the crew is safe, which is all that matters right now . it's so cool that a video of the whole thing was captured on social media - i'm sure it'll be all over the news soon. this just goes to show how crazy our world can get sometimes...
