A Freedom Air 737 has just made an emergency landing at Hamilton Intl (my local airport), after its nosegear failed to go down on landing.

Just heard on the news that the pilots were arguing moments before the Garuda plane crashed

Interesting, just lifted this from the Sydney Morning Herald:

Mr Kurniadi said the black box revealed the captain and first officer were arguing just before the plane came down, with the co-pilot demanding the pilot "go around" and delay the landing.

"There was some argumentation between the co-pilot and the pilot and captain relating with the speed and flaps," he said.

Mr Kurniadi said the flaps did not jam, rather the co-pilot did not put them down properly because the plane was going too fast.
