Ryanair has just had a pretty bad accident at Rome, thankfully nothing fatal, expect aircraft is quite damaged. Aircraft came in contact with flock of birds, lost power to both engines. Go-around was also made, and came back for a very hard landing, which no doubt affected the gear here (in this photo its on the side)??. Aircraft has stopped very short of runway end with all slides deployed/engines covered with foam. Landing gear has apparently failed whilst rolling, but hard to tell at current stage as aircraft is to the left of runway. Sounds pretty nasty....
A Ryanair Boeing 737-800, registration EI-DYG performing flight FR4102 from Frankfurt Hahn (Germany) to Rome Ciampino (Italy) with 166 passengers, performed an emergency landing into Ciampino due to landing gear trouble - with conflicting reports from a burst tyre to the collapse of the left main gear strut - and veered off the runway temporarily during the landing rollout. The crew managed to bring the airplane back onto the runway and to a safe stop, no injuries have been reported. The passengers were evacuated via slides upon command by fire services.
Fire engines foamed the airplane. The airport is currently closed.
