Celicar Turbocharged October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 I have always been amazed at how small the wheels assembles are relative to the plane size. Can see it as a marvel of technology also. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 Lowered suspension for better cornering? Could it be the hydraulic system collapsed? Always wonder those crane when hydraulically jacked up will suddenly collapsed? Any safety fail-proof features? A330 collapsed. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camrysfa Turbocharged October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 An engineer was on aboard the SIA plane doing some checks when it happened. So, it could be screwed up check. Press wrong button or some locks not in place before checks. Expensive damage. Something like this also happened to EVA.... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xefera 6th Gear October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 Link to article Singapore Airlines plane collapses at Changi Airport No passengers or crew were on board the SIA Airbus A330-300 when its nose gear retracted on Sunday morning, said the airline. POSTED: 11 Oct 2015 11:05 UPDATED: 11 Oct 2015 14:21 PHOTOS The Singapore Airlines Airbus A330-300 that collapsed on Sunday, Oct 11. (Photo: Jason) ENLARGE CAPTION 10746 305 10 Email More A A SINGAPORE: The nose gear of a Singapore Airlines (SIA) plane retracted on Sunday morning (Oct 11) at Changi Airport Terminal 3, causing the plane to tilt forward. In response to queries, SIA said the nose gear of the aircraft retracted while the aircraft was at Gate A17 undergoing a landing gear system check at around 8am on Sunday morning. At the time of the incident, there were no passengers or crew on board, but one one engineer was on the aircraft. The engineer was not hurt, added the airline. SIA said the Airbus A330-300 is registered as 9V-STG, and had last operated flight SQ835 which arrived in Singapore from Shanghai at 12.49am. The aircraft was next due to have operated SQ890 to Hong Kong on Sunday morning. However, another aircraft was used for that flight due to maintenance being carried out on the plane involved in the incident, said the airline. According to online flight schedules, SQ890 was scheduled to depart at 7.35am on Sunday morning, but took off instead at 8.18am. "We do not have details of damage to the aircraft at this point. An assessment will be carried out after it is removed from the gate," said SIA. "Singapore Airlines will be co-operating fully with the authorities in their investigations." Photos sent to Channel NewsAsia on Sunday showed the nose of the plane tilted downward on the tarmac of Changi Airport next to an aerobridge, and the photos appear to show that the front door of the plane was torn off. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tohto Hypersonic October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 I suspect this is a human mistake. Someone might had accidentally touch the control to keep the wheel. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karoon Turbocharged October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 (edited) Think engineer bypassed the landing gear interlock then pressed retract button. Poor fella's heart probably skipped a dozen beats as he felt the plane bow to earth. Edited October 11, 2015 by Karoon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
