Hero pilot safely lands passenger plane with no front wheels as sparks fly from nose of jet

A pilot safely landed a passenger plane without using its front wheels after they failed to deploy on arrival at the airport.

Video footage of the emergency touchdown showed sparks flying from the nose of the aircraft as it slid along the runway in Myanmar.

None of the 82 passengers and seven flight crew were injured during the incident at Mandalay International Airport.

Myanmar National Airlines said in a statement that the pilot, Captain Myat Moe Aung, was alerted to the problem by the plane’s Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS).

He informed the control tower and tried a backup emergency procedure to pull down the wheels on the Brazilian-made Embraer 190-LR.

The pilot then carried out two fly-bys of the runway to allow air controllers to check visually whether the landing gear had deployed.

After dumping fuel to reduce the landing weight, he brought the aircraft in to land on its rear wheels before the nose slowly tipped down to make contact with the runway at 9.09am on Sunday.

“The pilot did a great job,” said Win Khant, permanent secretary of transportation and telecommunication ministry.

A video posted online by one of the passengers showed smoke spreading through the plane before they evacuated the aircraft.

Several of the passengers were smiling as they walked away from the plane.

Flight operations at the airport were suspended for several hours as a result of the incident, which is now under investigation.

“Myanmar national airlines would like to thank all passengers and our crew on board,” the company said in a statement.

Last week a Biman Bangladesh Airlines plane skidded off the runway after landing in bad weather in Yangon. At least 15 crew and passengers were injured.

Woman wins Picasso painting worth €1m in raffle

An Italian woman has won a painting by Pablo Picasso, worth about €1m (£900,000; $1.1m), in a raffle after being given the ticket as a gift.

The winning ticket was pulled out during a live draw at Christie’s auction house in Paris.

The event, which was fundraising for Care charity, had been postponed twice - first to sell more tickets, and then because of coronavirus restrictions.

The prize painting, Nature Morte, is a still life from 1921.

It is a relatively small artwork - measuring 9in by 18in (23cm by 46cm) - which shows a glass of absinthe and a newspaper on a table.

In total €5.1m was raised for the charity by selling 51,000 raffle tickets at €100 each. About 29% of the tickets were sold in France, followed by the US and Switzerland.

Organisers said that €4.2m of proceeds will go towards clean water projects in schools and villages in Madagascar, Morocco and Cameroon.

David Nahmad, the billionaire collector from Monaco who supplied the Picasso painting, will be given €900,000. He also donated €100,000 to Care, organisers said.

“Picasso would have loved an operation like this, because he was someone with a lot of interest in humanitarian and social causes,” sale organiser Peri Cochin told Reuters news agency.

Soneto à Lua

Augusto Frederico Schmidt

Vens chegando de longe, tão cansada, Tão frágil e tão pálida vens vindo, Que pareces, ó doce Lua amiga, Vir impelida pelo vento leve. Pelo vento gentil que está soprando Tu pareces tangida, como um barco Com as suas louras velas enfunadas, E vens a navegar nos altos mares... Atravessando campos e cidades, Quantas artes e sortes não fizeste, Ó triste Lua dos enamorados! Quantas flores e virgens distraídas Não seduziste para a estranha viagem Por esse mar de amor, cheio de abismos!
