A United Boeing 737-800, registration N87513 performing
flight UA-2429 from Newark,NJ (USA) to Denver,CO (USA), landed on Denver's
runway 17R when sparks became visible from the left main gear. The crew
requested emergency services to attend to the aircraft advising they
believed they had blown a tyre, or maybe a gear. The aircraft became
disabled on the runway resting on the left hand engine cowl, nose gear and
right hand main gear. The left main gear, although appearing to have been
down, didn't support the aircraft.
Passengers reported as soon as the aircraft touched down sparks became
visible from the left main gear. They later disembarked via the right hand
front door and stairs.
The airline reported the aircraft experienced a mechanical issue on landing,
all passengers were bussed to the terminal.
The FAA reported the gear collapsed on landing, there were no injuries, the
aircraft sustained unknown damage.
The aircraft was towed off the runway the following day with the left hand
wing being supported by a flat bed semi truck.
