- Date: June 21, 2022
- Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas MD-82
- Location: Miami-Intl, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The left main gear shimmy damper did not adequately damp vibration during landing, which led to failure of the gear and a runway excursion. Crew performance was found appropriate (NTSB).
A RED Air MD 82 from Santo Domingo suffered a collapse of the left main landing gear during the landing roll at Miami, veered off the runway, hit an equipment building and caught fire. All 140 aboard evacuated and four passengers had minor injuries. The NTSB blamed the left shimmy damper's failure to damp vibration.
