Apparently, this sort of landing isn't any big deal, but I'm impressed.  This flight was coming into Tehran from Moscow last week, and the pilot discovered that the nose gear was hung.  He got the plane down with only minor damage and no injuries.

Here's a more recent one, a LOT 767 that came down in Warsaw today with no landing gear at all.
