Notes:
This shot was taken as Me and my wife left the plane after a emergency landing in Biak(WABB), What happened was after we took off the left back wheel came loose and fell off in mid air, (the wheel fell on top of the local post office) we then circled for about 30 min dumping fuel and waiting for the runway to be prepared for landing, now believe me we had a very rough landing as the plane swirved all over the runway from side to side, the plane just stopped right at the end of the runway.

Sorry guys we circled around 30min to burn fuel as the B737 cannot dump fuel
Paul Nichols
A very interesting image and I'm glad all turned out well in the end, but I thought the 737 couldn't dump fuel?

Awsome photo Frikkie! Really gets me feeling like im there. I guess if you fly around Indonesia as much as you do the odds of being in an incident stack up, credit to the pilots though for a landing like what you have described.
