#1 On December 28, 1972, Eastern Airlines flight 401 was on its final approach into Miami International after midnight. The airplane had left New York on time, and it had been a normal, uneventful flight right up until the pilot attempted to lower the landing gear. An indicator light in the cockpit that confirmed the landing gear was down and locked didn’t come on, and the pilot and crew had to figure out if it was a burnt-out light bulb or something more serious.
