Take a look at this fabulous image taken by Derek Flynn from the Marlborough Express newspaper in New Zealand.
It shows an Air New Zealand Beechcraft 1900D aircraft (operated by Eagle Air) crash-landing at Blenheim Airport, after mechanical and manual attempts to lower the undercarriage had failed.
The image is amazing - you can see the blades from the props flying into the air, as well as other debris off the plane and runway.Due to the skill of the 2 pilots, they and 15 passengers walked away uninjured.
You can read the full report on the Stuff.co.nz website and view the newsclip video of the landing on the TV3 website.
Great job, pilots!
Derek - you have my admiration for a stunning image!
