B767LH, could you explain this please? :
This crew was lucky that the inboard engine on the malfunctioning gear side did not become an expensive icecream scoop.
I always understood that a 747 could land with any one main gear up and should be able to remain upright enough not to damage an engine pod, barring a serious adverse crosswind maybe.
