Original Note:
This was not a "catastrophe". A FedEx cargo plane whose front landing gear failed to open landed with guidance from the control tower, managing to remain on the runway, with no injuries. The pilots executed the standard emergency procedure for landing with retracted nose gear. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/boeing-cargo-plane-lands-istanbul-without-front-landing-gear-no-casualties-2024-05-08/
