On September 7, 2025, WestJet flight WS2276 from Toronto to St. Maarten attempted to land at the famous Princess Juliana Airport. On touchdown, the right main landing gear collapsed, forcing passengers and crew to evacuate via emergency slides. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported, but the airport was shut down for hours as investigators worked the scene and airlines scrambled to divert flights.
In this video, Captain Steeeve breaks down:
✈️ What causes a “hard landing” and why they sometimes happen.
✈️ How landing gear is designed to absorb impact.
✈️ Why evacuations are ordered quickly even if there isn’t visible fire.
✈️ Lessons pilots and passengers can take away from this incident.
As always, we’ll dive into real-world flight training, accident investigation procedures, and give you a clear look at what went right and what went wrong.
