The pilots did great, but I think the flight attendants also did their jobs well. I only saw a brief clip from inside, but the passengers were all braced and nobody was screaming. And that's an important job of the Flight Attendents. To make sure all the passengers know what to do and don't panic. Flight attendants aren't just there to serve you peanuts and juice, they are the ones trained to assist you when things go wrong and do everything they can to help ensure you are safe on that plane. Great job by everyone involved.

Lets not forget about the employees that helped in the tower.... team work , keeps people alive ...

Those pilots and flight attendants were amazing !!!!!! God bless them all.

The pilots and crew deserve the applause.

How absolutely frightening. Kudos to the pilot for landing the aircraft safely.

Any landing you walk away from is a good landing! Bravo Delta Pilots👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nice! All did cooperate well! They pilots needs an oscars, flight attendants calmly evacuating passengers and finally, NO PASSENGERS TOOK THEIR LUGGAGE

Amazing how pilots remain so cool calm and collected in situations like this. Job well done to everyone. Glad all are safe.

What a smooth landing for no front landing gear great pilot

Huge props to the pilots

Scary, but at the same time confidence-inspiring. Shows how there are protocols in place to deal with situations when things go wrong. This is part of the reason why air travel is statistically the safest way to travel. Even after decades of flying, I am always blown away by the miracle of human flight.

Glad everyone was safe!!

Damn! This gives me goosebumps! Whewwww! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Delta Pilots and crew!!!❤

Thankful that everyone is safe!

Dude that pilot is a fucking Boss, Give him a raise 📈

No matter how many times you fly, always fasten your seat belt, and be ready for any emergency.

Well built plane and fantastic pilot skills!❤❤

Thank God for that pilot and their skill to get them down safely!!

so impressive!! Pilots train and train and train for such eventualities, but so few ever have to experience it. Huge kudos to those Pilots and to Delta for training their pilots and cabin crew so well.

These pilots need to be acknowledged everyday

I’m just glad everyone is OK. that must’ve been so terrifying for everyone on that flight.

That happened to me too, in a 727, right main gear no green light (I was in the cockpit jumpseating). The 3rd officer tried manual (cables system with a hand crank) to no avail. Flew by the tower, and they said the gear looked down. The airport scrambled the firefighters, and the pilot looked at me and said, put your seat belt on real tight. He also said he had done a belly landing similar to this in another 727 in south america. Anyway, we landed fine, reverse thrust hard, and parked on the runway, and all got off the plane. It was about 1 in the morning on a Fedex jet a long time ago. I don't remember it being really scary, but just life. Might have been more scary if I was a passenger in the back ... don't know.

Kudos to pilots

Captain told passengers to brace for impact, passenger pull out phone to record

This is the only time clapping after landing is allowed 👏🏼😂

Apparently, none of Spirt Airlines planes have gear because every landing sounds and looks like this.

Nailed it!!! Good job to all.

Yet another miracle from our American pilot!

There has been a lot of vehicular incidents lately. We better tighten up

Wow!!!! That could've had a horrible ending! Hatsoff to the flight crew!!!

That is great airmanship. ✈️

The Gimli Glider (Air Canada flight 143, with a Boeing 767) also skidded down the runway on its nose, while all the friction did start a small fire it also helped slow the plane down.

The Flight Channel gonna have a time reproducing this one. Awesome Job Flight Crew

Love delta. They have the best pilots and crew member. I would rather pay more for my ticket knowing my experience will be top notch. Well done crew and pilots.

Delta is still a good airline. Good job pilots!

Great that the pilots were able to bring plane in safely and without any injuries…loved hearing the joy and relief from the passengers. Now imagine if any of the unhinged behavior we’ve seen in hundreds of vids on planes was occurring at the same time!

It had been determined that Stockton rush was the last inspector of those landing gear

Wonderful job by Pilots! Very happy passengers !! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wow, amazing!!! Congratulations to the pilots

As a Flight Attendant I am really upset that they were not mentioned here. While the pilots did amazing and got them on the ground, the flight attendants were in that cabin running through a crazy checklist with the passengers. Assisting them in an emergency is just as important.

Smoother landing than Ryan Air

Kudos to all crews specially Captain & Pilot, also ATC. It’s not the first time in US history, last time it happened in Bangladesh as well. All of these were successful, the best way to finish fuel before landing 🛬 . No one will understand the stress of passengers and their families where most passengers have wifi on board as well.

Great testimony about the advances in sensor technology that can alert the pilots. Great skills demonstrated to hold off the nose as long as possible once the main wheels are on the runway! 😊✨

My heart would’ve dropped. Omg, I’d be scared to death. Glad all is ok.

The pilot be like. Please let me keep my job. CEO we dont know yet but your in!

Like a movie in live action. 👏👏👏 the pilot

Praise God and the pilots!

Bro good thing rest in peace😢

I've had worse landings with all the wheels down. Lol these pilots made it business as usual. This is why i fly Delta.

Thank God He protected all onboard this plane whose nose gear did not deploy for landing.

Nice job on those pilots!!!

I will be flying Delta if they have pilots like this! 🎉❤ Glad everyone is safe!

Passenger caught the exact angle where you can see the shadow silhouette profile showing no landing gear in the front

Is it just me, or in a world with over a billion cell phones, full advance warning that they were landing without landing gear, a couple of advance passes over the runway.....no news is actually showing the landing? Only clapping inside the airplane and some concrete shots from inside the windows. Kinda bizarre. What did I miss?

Bravo to the pilots!!! job well done!!!! I'll fly with you any day.

Pilots train alot for these short of things, and that training paid off. Hopefully that 717 isn't a total lost and can fly again, not many T-tails flying these days

Well done pilot and co-pilot!

That pilot is the best! Great job all around!

A Boeing 717 originally built by McDonnel Douglas as the MD95

Thats a smoother landing than most flights ive been in

What's even better that the front nose wasn't damage, as I would have thought. Fantastic pilots

This is Pilot's Professionalism!

You know you're in Italy when the passengers clap regardless of whether it's an emergency landing or not.

Reminds me of the JetBlue plane that landed with their front wheel turned 90 degrees.

What a coincidence, the Titan submersible did the same thing a few days ago. Well, at least these flight tickets were way cheaper and the plane kept in 1 piece.

And that’s why the Pilots make the Big Bucks! Bravo!!

Normal available gear landing. The landing is a scheduling convenience. The gear is used so the aircraft can be flown on the next flight.

front landing gear are extremely precise assemblies which can fail....the no gear landing is fairly safe for the airliner and the passengers aboard.

this is the perfect plane for it to happen to since the enginges are tail-mounted, much safer as funny as it sounds than a plane like an a320 landing without landing gear

Wow, for a moment there I thought I was back in 1984 on a DC-9. Hated when I had to board those instead of L-1011's !

Lol that landing is smoother than some I have seen

pretty skilled pilot

Crap like this still happens. No matter how many times ppl try to convince “it’s safer than driving a car” is going to comfort me from this fear

Funny, it says LaGuardia Airport at 2:43 but that looks like Newark Airport in the background.

who cares how many millions flights it delayed. how often u see safe landing with no one injured for a large plane like that.

Where’s the video footage, outside of the plane, that shows the landing? Thinking people would like to know.

Why nobody recorder the landing from outside????

Airline pilots do this in the simulator all the time, they think it over in their sleep, with their eyes closed, while eating lunch, working out at the gym, peeing, going at it in the bedroom, etc. They know what they're doing for sure! I'm sure Mr. Hörnfeldt (Mentour Pilot) is excited, not about the last example I cite, but about doing a video about this incident FOR SURE! And I hope you all have an "ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC" day!

that was pretty smooth tho, good work

Wow. That’s super scary

2:12 interesting, on the ATC recording they’re heard rejecting the offer to do a fly-by

'00 Boeing 717. Nose-Gear failed to lower.

Praise God that everyone is okay and praise God for the wisdom of the Delta pilots

BOEING 717 TOTAL FATALITIES: 0 BOEING 717 TOTAL HULL LOSSES: 0 THE LEGEND CONTINUES

Let’s consider adding a $10 Pi camera so pilots can see whether the landing gear is down.

My biggest fear is something happening on a plane but seeing great results like this is calming.

That's going to seriously scratch the paint. Hopefully the deductible isn't too high.

wow! amazing work Delta airlines!

Delta flight 717 now arriving at gate 9, gate 10, gate 11.....

Damn, let’s not forget how helpful avation airlines helpers are and ATC. Mainly about the traffic ,but does anyone agree with me that whenever has a crash landing or emergency landing like this one that they are always on Boeing-717-300?

Kudos to the crew! 👏

Thank GOD they made it

Did the passengers get their stuff back? And I’m happy that they did not die

Those little workhorses fly way too much, too old, and i am not too surprised this happened, so happy everyone is safe:)

If their front landing gear didn’t work why didn’t you say so you said their landing gear didn’t work! There’s a big difference JetBlue did the same thing landed without a front landing gear. Nothing happened just a lot of sparks that’s all.

Looked smooth to me

Sadly, the news report thanked the pilots but made no mention of who they were. 😢 Good work, anyway, flight crew!

Pilots did a really good job for bringing the plane to a smooth landing At the same time they need to investigate the reason that put everyones life at risk should not be happening in the first place. Passengers lives mean a lot to their loved ones!!

I've done this many times on Flight Simulator, piece of cake.

Pilots really can be heroes
