That was interesting, I'm surprised it wasn't on the news. Or maybe it was and it was just in passing.

Hmmm, flowers usually come from Columbia, not the other way around. They have huge rose farms down there.

yeah, unless the University of Columbia built itself a runway recently, I think the name is Colombia http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif

My translation (pretty reliable, I used mi mente and free translation):

A Trade Wings publishing company cargo plane, carry five crew members, left the left José María Córdova, of Rionegro on Wednseday, all to have problems with its landing gear.

The incident, which had no causalties, happened at 7:15 in the morning and prompted the closure of the airport terminal, which serves the people of Medellín. All things were normal by 11 am.

The airplane, a 747-jumbo jet, had a destination of Miami, United States.
