Jet
Airliner With Disabled Landing Gear Saved by Pick Up Truck -Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor: A YouTube link of a video is circulating the
Internet that appears to be a news report of a miraculous landing of
passenger jet airliner with a disabled nose gear. As the plane
descends on the runway a driver in a pick up truck maneuvers the vehicle just below
the plane's nose gear to assist the crippled aircraft in a safe landing.
The Truth: This video looks amazing but
it is a fake produced for a Nissan Frontier television advertisement.
