It was a remarkable - if not miraculous landing. A Polish airplane whose landing gear had refused to open and was thus forced to land on its belly with no wheels. A hair-raising and incredibly dangerous thing to attempt - everyone was expecting the worst. Nevertheless the plane's captain Tadeusz Wrona (an expert glider) managed to pull it off and all 230 passengers were saved. He was later rightly crowned a hero by the passengers and the airline for having saved the lives of all those people.
