This is a major major incident for the Boeing 767. Folks are mentioning re cb's , resets etc. as a previous mentioned they had 8 hrs previous crossing the pond to go through all the eventualities in liaison with their maintenance folk. From the radar trace they must have held a good 40mins at Warsaw before commencing their approach as they I presume retraced all their options and set themselves up for a nightmare landing that none of us ever want to experience.

From an engineering view point, with all the damage incurred on the underbody will the repair cost exceed its hull value? Those 767s are a good age with LOT.

well done to the crew and the capt.
