Wrongo! It WAS lowered. Unfortunately, some stupid frog had installed it sideways.

I was on a Southwest flight from San Francisco to Boston 2 years ago, that had a stop in St. Louis. Circled about 8 times, they come on the PA and say the indicator light says the landing gear is not down and locked. Can't fix it. They tell us to assume crash positions, the works. Then they land. Gear holds, it was a bad indicator not a bad gear. They gave everyone on the plane a free pair of tickets. We went on our merry way.
