CNN —Two passengers and a pilot emerged unscathed from a small plane after it was forced to land without landing gear following a mechanical failure at Newcastle Airport in Australia’s New South Wales. The plane, a Beach B-200 Super King, circled the airport for hours burning fuel before making a “textbook” wheels-up emergency landing, CNN affiliate Nine News reported. Footage shows the plane approaching the runway without its landing gear activated before touching down and skidding along the tarmac until coming to a stop. “It was a great result, really well done by the pilot,” Humphrey reportedly said. “I could hear him on the air, he sounded very calm to me.”The plane had been circling the airport for several hours in order to burn fuel.

The 44-year-old man was surfing near Lighthouse Beach, Port Macquarie when a shark launched a “sustained and prolonged attack,” New South Wales (NSW) police said in a statement. Police said a bystander applied a tourniquet before paramedics transferred the surfer to Port Macquarie Hospital in critical condition. “[He is in] a serious condition with life threatening injuries, sustained from the lower leg injuries, and also significant blood loss,” NSW Police Chief Inspector Martin Burke said. Australia ranked behind only the United States in the number of unprovoked shark encounters with humans last year, according to the Florida Museum’s International Shark Attack File. According to the Australian Shark Incident Database, there were 10 shark encounters in New South Wales in 2022, resulting in seven injuries and one death.

But the gray nurse shark (also known as the sand tiger shark and the spotted ragged-tooth shark) is under threat. As well as gray nurse sharks, whales, stingrays, grouper fish and many more marine species can be seen there. This has helped to raise awareness of the fragility of both the area and gray nurse sharks, says Leesfield. Gray nurse shark numbers have declined in recent years, leading to the species being listed critically endangered. Faehrmann explains that Fish Rock is a critical breeding ground for gray nurse sharks.
