A terrible situation for the 45 passengers and crew of three

I watched a King Air 200 do this 25 years ago in Salt Lake. Burned all his fuel, both props feathered over the threshold, landed on the two good (nose and left mains), held off as long as he could, no foam on runway. The right main did not extend.

When the wings touched the airplane spun around, lots of sparks, but everyone got off.

It can be done. Good Luck to the guys flying it.

Are all flights grounded right now? There isn't any other air traffic is there?

King Air 200 is a TP, not a jet, and built like a tank! TP=Turbo Prop
