Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A Boeing 767 from Newark, New Jersey, carrying 230 passengers made an emergency landing in Warsaw today after its landing gear failed to open.
None of the passengers aboard the flight were injured, said Leszek Chorzewski, the spokesman for LOT, the Polish airline that operated the flight.
The pilots discovered a technical problem with their landing gear ahead of landing, and circled above the airport for about one hour before landing the plane on its belly without its wheels.
A fire brigade laid out special material with fire-fighting substances for the plane to land on.
Passengers could be seen rushing out of the plane. The airport has been closed until tomorrow.
