A United Boeing 757-200, registration N26123 performing flight UA-627 from Denver,CO to Newark,NJ (USA) with 166 people on board, landed on Newark’s runway 22L at 12:56L (16:56Z) but bounced and touched down hard causing damage to the nose gear and forward fuselage. The aircraft came to a stop with the nose gear off the left runway edge, still on the paved surface of the runway. The passengers disembarked onto the runway via stairs.
A passenger reported the damage is even visible inside the cabin where the nose gear came up into the cabin.
The airline reported the aircraft experienced multiple flat tyres upon landing in Newark. The aircraft became disabled.
This is a bit more serious than blown tires - landing hard enough to drive the landing gear up through the cabin structure is no small feat.
