Not everyday does one get lucky to catch a shot like this!
TAM flight number 8078 from Rio de Janeiro was making its final approach for runway 22L around 10:15am. This is the first photo of the aborted landing due to a landing indicator light in the cockpit. The aircraft performed a standard go-around and was then cleared to land on runway 22R. As the aircraft made its second final approach again the JFK tower informed the TAM pilots that the nose gear was twisted, at which point the TAM pilots aborted their second attempted landing. TAM flight 8078 with its nose gear twisted made a successful emergency landing on runway 31L at approximately 11am. Glad no one was injured and kudos to the TAM crew, and outstanding job to say the least!!!!
The photos were taken from North Woodmere park in Five Towns.
