'A Shuttle America Embraer ERJ-170 on behalf of United, registration N637RW performing flight S5-5124/UA-5124 from Atlanta,GA to Newark,NJ (USA) with 69 passengers and 4 crew, was on final approach to Newark's runway 22L when the crew aborted the approach reporting a gear disagree message. The aircraft entered a holding at 5000 feet, the crew reported they had about 50 minutes of fuel, worked checklists and performed a low approach to runway 22L about 35 minutes after aborting the first approach, tower reported the nose gear was not down, the gear doors appeared a bit open, about a bump visible. The aircraft positioned for another approach to runway 22L and landed without nose gear on runway 22L at 18:28L (23:28Z) about 45 minutes after aborting the first approach. The aircraft was evacuated, no injuries occurred, the passengers were bussed to the terminal.

Authorities reported the nose gear collapsed on landing.'
 
Αν ο πύργος ανέφερε πως ο ριναίος δέν ήταν κάτω,πώς "κατέρρευσε" (collapsed) κατά την προσγείωση;

Αλλωστε στο "δελτίο τύπου" αναφέρεται ότι
The nose wheels were found turned sideways in the wheel well preventing extension

δηλαδή οι τροχοί ήταν γυρισμένοι πρός το πλάϊ και συνεπώς είχαν "φρακάρει" μέσα στην κοιλότητα.
