Must-See Videos: Sparks fly in emergency landing
The jet landing in Houston lost its front landing gear

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM



A frightening emergency landing was caught on camera in Houston when a US Airways jet was forced to land without its front landing gear.



With no wheel to support it, the jet's nose tipped over on the runway - sending out a huge shower of sparks.



One passenger was slightly injured, but everyone else got off the plane okay.





BASKET-BRAWL



A fight during a Griffith, Indiana high school basketball game was caught on camera.



The punches began after a player was fouled so hard he was pushed into a padded wall. In the video, you see players rush the court and even some parents got involved.



The brawl forced officials to call off the game. Students and adults may face charges.



VEGAS IMPLOSION



The 12-story Clarion casino-hotel on the Las Vegas strip was brought down overnight in a huge cloud of dust.



The implosion of the 44-year-old building makes room for something new.



The hotel closed last September. The Las Vegas developer who bought the property hasn't said what he plans to build there, but he said it's going to be big.



SMILEY-SPACE



An amazing picture from the Hubble Space Telescope looks like a smiley face.



What looks like two glowing eyes are actually two distant galaxies and the smile is a result of what astronomers call "strong gravitational lensing". The ring-like structure forming the smiley face is known as an "Einstein Ring" - named after the man whose theory of general relativity explains such phenomena.
