On Saturday, Feb 28 a Saab 2000 (YR-SBI) bound from Chisinau (Moldova) to Timisoara (Romania) did an emergency landing at Timisoara after an unsafe gear warning indicated a problem with lowering the nose gear.
The plane, belonging to the Romanian company Carpatair, circled Timisoara International Airport for about two hours in order to burn off its fuel and then did a belly landing on a bed of foam laid out by firefighters. Nobody was injured.

I heard about this incident during the last weekend, but at that time I couldn’t find any pictures or videos.
