I read this on another forum I monitor: Mesa airlines flight 6332 from Kalispell, MT to Phoenix, AZ is being diverted to Boise, ID to make a crash landing after the nosewheel axle fell off right after takeoff.
The airliner is a Canadair Regional Jet 200, which seats up to 50 people and has 3 crew.
That's all the info I have right now.
**Be advised, this in UNCONFIRMED. It could be true, or it could be a hoax. We probably won't know for sure until it lands, if there is indeed a problem..
Airliner to Make Crash Landing in Boise (unconfirmed)
Moderator: S2k Moderators
Looks like the report may be true. Flytecomm.com shows that the flight is indeed being diverted to Boise. It didn't turn back and crash land at its departure airport for a number of reasons. First of all, it needs to burn fuel. You don't want to crash land an aircraft full jet fuel. Boise is also a larger airport with more emergency response services.
The aircraft is currently approx. 20 minutes out of Boise, at 19,000 feet, speed 281 mph.
