To those people asking how the **** could an Albert crew land wheels up, all I'm going to say is they certainly are not the first, and I will bet my life they will not be the last if it is just a finger problem.....

However, I would strongly suspect a problem that prevented one part of the gear being lowered, so landing belly would be safer than trying land with only half the gear deployed. If you have a look on YouTube thre is a full video of ( think it's American) a Herc belly landing due to u/c issues, and being a high wing a/c it takes it very very well....

YouTube - Bad landing C-130 Hercules

But no one knows the facts, The main concern is that all the crew are safe, aircraft can be replaced....

Now, was XV304 on a print????
