The pilot successfully managed to land the aircraft with the landing gear that did not deploy.

An extraordinary aviation incident in Poland has come back to the forefront when compared to today's plane crashes. In 2011, a passenger plane that could not deploy its landing gear made a successful emergency landing in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and entered aviation history.

The LOT Polish Airlines flight from Newark to Warsaw had 231 passengers on board. As the pilots approached for landing, they noticed that the landing gear had not deployed. They circled the airport for nearly an hour to burn off fuel and prepare for an emergency landing.

The event, watched live by millions, ended happily thanks to the pilots' skill. The plane made a successful landing on its fuselage. Despite sparks flying and a small fire starting during the landing, no one among the passengers and crew was harmed.

LOT Polish Airlines President Marcin Pirog stated after the incident, "Our cabin crew prepared the passengers very well for the emergency landing. There was no panic among the passengers."

This successful landing is being compared to the tragic plane crash that occurred in South Korea last Sunday. The Jeju Air plane faced a similar situation, but the outcome was very different. In the accident at Muan International Airport, only 2 out of 181 people survived.

Aviation expert Julian Bray explained the difference between the two incidents: "The plane in Poland had both engines running, and the pilots had enough time to prepare. However, the plane in South Korea lost one engine due to a bird strike. This may have affected the electrical and hydraulic systems. The pilot was in a very difficult situation. After the first landing attempt failed, he tried again, but unfortunately, the second attempt ended in disaster."

These two incidents show that the fate of planes facing the same technical problems depends on the conditions they are in and the pilots' ability to maneuver. The Polish example proves that even the most dangerous situations can be overcome with proper preparation and sufficient time, while the accident in South Korea painfully reminds us of how crucial every second is in aviation.
