(CNN) -- A Boeing 767 on a flight from Newark, New Jersey, made a dramatic emergency landing at Warsaw, Poland's Frederic Chopin International airport Tuesday after problems with its landing gear, an airport spokeswoman said. All the passengers on the flight, from Newark Liberty International Airport to Warsaw, are safe and uninjured, she told CNN. Newark Liberty serves the greater New York area.

Apparently they sent 2 F-16 to check if it was a sensor failure

Cpt. Wrona is the new Cpt. Sully. Awesome landing

yeah, apparently the landing was so smooth, the passengers thought the gear was down in the end

Yeah, a great effort from the pilots to be fair.

When I saw this earlier today, I also read that the airport spent over an hour preparing the runway for a landing without any landing gear.

I can only speculate what that involved, probably lots of Vaseline.

I think Vaseline would cause the plane to overshoot the landing strip.
Anyway , great organization from the ground crew as well

Yeah, Vaseline was an exaggeration :p

Although I imagine they did something to the runway to reduce the friction between the aircraft and the runway surface.... the first time I saw the video, I was honestly expecting a fire to emerge...

... but I'm merely speculating.

yeah, they sprayed fire retardant foam all over the runway, and dumped the fuel before landing

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't see that in the article I read earlier.

It's obvious that it wasn't the Pilot who saved the day, infact...it was Yoda.

listen carefully at the 35 second mark in this video, and you'll clearly hear him talking about the darkside.

In your face believers in humanity.
