A United Airlines Airbus A319, similar to the one involved in the incident. United Airlines Flight 634 made a very rough emergency landing yesterday morning when only two of the three landing wheels on the Airbus A319 deployed as the plane was making its final approach into Newark, New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport. After multiple attempts to fix the problem failed, the pilot decided that an emergency landing was the only remaining choice. "Brace! Brace! Brace!", the pilot announced over the plane's public address system, calling for passengers to enter the brace position as the plane made a rough touchdown on the runway at Newark. The plane touched down on the nose wheel and left rear wheel before lurching to the right causing sparks to fly as the right engine skidded along the runway. Eventually, the plane came to stop at 9:27 A.M. EDT. Afterward, passengers and crew evacuated the plane by sliding down the evacuation slides and moving quickly away from the plane due to fears it might explode . They were then taken by bus to the airline's lounge were they told their stories to investigators and waited for their luggage. Three passengers reported minor injuries but refused treatment. According to passengers, the crew remained calm during the ordeal. Jim Falk said, "They did a great job. There was no yelling, screaming, panicking or anything." Falk said he wanted to buy a bottle of Champagne to the currently unnamed pilot. Falk added, "The pilot did a beautiful job. He didn’t put it in the water like the other pilot did, but he should be commended."
