On June 21, 2022, RED Air Flight 203 experienced a landing gear collapse. The McDonnell Douglas MD-82 (registered as HI1064) slid through a communications tower and caught fire at Miami International Airport. All 140 people on board survived. At least three people were hospitalized with reportedly-minor injuries.[4][5] The aircraft has been written off as a total loss.[6][7] The NTSB final report on the accident stated the cause of the accident was the left main landing gear's shimmy dampener failing to mitigate extreme vibrations during landing rollout. The vibrations caused the gear's lower torque link to fail and the entire left gear collapsed as a result.[8]
