A United Airlines flight landing at Newark Liberty International Airport came dangerously close to the ground, striking a light pole and a tractor-trailer. The Boeing 767, arriving from Venice with over 200 people aboard, made contact with the landing gear, causing the pole to hit another vehicle. Miraculously, no one on the plane was harmed, and it landed safely, though the truck driver sustained minor injuries. Investigators, including the NTSB, are looking into the incident, particularly because the pilots reportedly did not immediately realize the plane had hit anything, raising questions about alarm systems and pilot awareness during landing. The final sentence emphasizes the terrifying nature of the near-miss and the ongoing investigation.
