For now a very nice job by the crew for landing the aircraft without serious injuries to pax or crew!

However i am curious to why the landing gear would not go down, especially with the freefall backup system apparantely not working either which i would find troublesome at first glance. We'll probably find out more in a couple of weeks/months with a preliminary report.

Landed on downsloping 07, also favourable for the wind today...

I would say that Mr Muentefering gave a good comment about the situation not giving the media an overexcited quote they can misuse. However i would not have opted to go to the beer festival afterwards myself... politicians! ;-)
