Ok folks dont read anything in links unless you know some spanish because all is in that language but only look at the pic at the front page of the newspaper here in Puerto Rico how that commuter plane from American eagle that yesterday afternoon had this accident caused by a broken landing gear and made this landing that you see in the pic at the San Juan international airport.The investigation is underway by the NTSB (NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD) and the FAA.26 people including the crew suffered minor injuries from this that could be more worse for them as you can see.The FBI was called yesterday at the initial stages of the investigation but they said no foul play was involved here.
WOW it is a miracle that all passengers and crew are alive!!

Yep If you see the pics in first instance you think that it was a disaster and all the people in there died and that was the first impressions at the first minutes when it happened.But very rapidly the emergency operation went into full action in the airport and 1 minute after the plane made that landing all the emergency perssonel were there.

The latest update about the accident is that the majority of the passengers were released from hospitals as their injuries were minor.The pilot and co-pilot are still in the hospital with injuries to their neck and back disc.The black box is being analized from today to determine the exact cause of the accident but foul play has been discounted by the FBI.
