SAS was the launch customer for the 400 series and the problem is corrosion. So climate and time naturally leads to the first problems merging with SAS's aircraft. ANA reported finding the same problems and there was an incident a month ago with Augsburg Airways.

Pretty amazing video, you can see exactly when the pilot turns off the right engine. Also it looks like the right landing gear is not extracted at all? The previous incidents had extracted gear but lock problem, yeah?

Despite that, would you (or any other at this forum) be flying any Dash-400 flight after this third or fourth, similar incident? There were no casualties, luckily, but what has been reported, someone did get hurt. At what point can a plane type loose its certifications?

Pretty irresponsible if you ask me.
