Gear Issue at JFK Interesting pics

A bit of an old story but you would think that the crew would be aware that one was not down and locked.

Photos: Landing Gear Issue Damages China Airlines Cargo 747 at JFK

"The gear of the 747-400F had not fully deployed due to a hydraulic failure. The crew made no mention of the issue, and may not have known about it at all, until after they landed. The aircraft sat on Taxiway Zulu for hours to remove cargo to lighten the load before needing to be towed to parking at Building 76."
