By Sam Webb This incredible video shows the moment a pilot with nerves of steel landed a passenger jet on just the rear set of wheels after the front landing gear failed to deploy. The Avianca Airlines passenger jet safely made an emergency landing at the Juscelino Kubitschek international airport in Brasilia, Brazil, on Friday after the malfunction, authorities said. None of the 49 passengers and crew of five on the Fokker 100 jet were injured when the plane landed on its rear wheels before lowering the nose onto the runway, the Brazilian Air Force said. Airport fire crews foamed the plane to prevent fire.
