From the Wikipedia article
The Scandinavian Airlines Flight 2748 belly landing (Sukanjinabia Kōkū 2748-bin dōtai chakuriku jiko, English: Scandinavian Airlines Flight 2748) was an aviation accident on 12 September 2007 in which Scandinavian Airlines Flight 2748 (a Bombardier Q400), flying from Copenhagen, Denmark, to Palanga, Lithuania, made a belly landing at Vilnius International Airport, Lithuania.
Overview of the accident
During the flight, a problem with the right main landing gear was discovered, and the aircraft diverted to Vilnius International Airport for an emergency landing. During the landing the right main gear collapsed, resulting in a belly landing. Although there were no deaths or injuries, it came just 3 days after Scandinavian Airlines Flight 1209, also operated with a Q400, had made a belly landing, and the accident greatly shook confidence in the Q400. After the accident, Scandinavian Airlines permanently grounded the type.
