From the Wikipedia article
TNT Airways flight 325 departed on 15 June 2006 from Liège Airport for a cargo flight to London Stansted. After a failed landing at East Midlands Airport near Nottingham, the right-hand part of the landing gear broke off and an emergency landing eventually had to be made at Birmingham International Airport. There were no injuries.
Investigation and cause
Investigation
Flight 325 was investigated by the British Air Accidents Investigation Branche (AAIB). The investigation identified multiple causes.
It was inappropriate for air traffic control to still pass a message to the pilots at such an advanced stage of the landing.
The pilot should not have disengaged the autopilot.
The pilot should have made a go-around immediately after the autopilot was disengaged, and not only when he saw that he had deviated.
There was confusion after the pilot had accidentally disengaged the autopilot.
The co-pilot should have proposed making a go-around earlier.
