This morning, new details on that harrowing moment a packed passenger plane came dangerously close to disaster. 
>> Holy Oh my goodness. 
>> A new report finding that United Airlines flight with over 230 people on board was flying dangerously low, just 15 ft above this busy New Jersey highway when it slammed into a light pole. The pole then crashing into this truck and injuring the driver. 
The report also showing that pilots were given three rapid runway changes and descending in strong winds when they were told to land at Newark Airport's shortest runway. 
The first officer warning the captain the airspeed was slow, later saying, "You were still slow and a little low." 
The captain saying he heard a thump before touchdown. 
>> As of now, everything points to pilot error. 
error. The pilots made a mistake and so the NTSB is going to want to go back and say, "What is it about this approach to this runway? Why are we making this more difficult for crews than it needs to be?" 
>> The plane suffering substantial damage and a gash in the side of the fuselage. 
>> Now, the passengers were all okay. They were able to get off the plane safely and that plane has been taken out of service. 
>> Yeah, and that should happen with that with that 
with that accident. But tell us about the shocking video we saw on the on a you know, in the jetway, the front landing gear collapsed on the plane. 
That was scary to see. 
>> Very scary. Luckily, all 13 people who were on board, it was crew members and ground staff, they are all okay. 
But look at this dramatic video posted on social media showing the front landing gear of a Lufthansa jet collapsing. 
Well, yes, it was parked at a gate in Frankfurt, Germany just moments before passengers were set to board the flight to Los Angeles. The nose of the plane crashing down. 
One expert we spoke with said the leading theory in this is that maintenance was being done on the aircraft and something went wrong. 
Authorities, of course, are going to investigate. That plane has also, obviously, been taken out of service. 
>> And good luck that worker was paying attention and backed out of the way. 
>> Iriana, thank you for that. Appreciate
