“The pilot told us, we’re going to land, we’re going to hear a big thud and we’re going to hear a lot of grinding,” Skotarczak told the Associated Press. “But it was almost smoother than a regular landing.”
“Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people,” Delta Air Lines said in a statement. “While this is a rare occurrence, Delta flight crews train extensively to safely manage through many scenarios and flight 1092 landed safely without reported injuries.” The crew calmly led the passengers to the emergency chutes at the two exits after the emergency landing.Less than four hours after the landing, Skotarczak, the passenger from Buffalo, was at work, but only with his cellphone and a bottle of water. Passengers were asked to leave everything else on the plane as they left, and he put his wallet in his backpack so he wouldn’t have to sit on it the whole flight.
Zahornacky said the crew did what they were supposed to do when the nose gear didn’t work as expected, which is to extend the rest of the plane’s landing gear to absorb energy as the plane touches the runway.
