I guess I should have stuck with my original instinct in my first post.
That's what I get for listening to a reporter.

I captured the footage with my capture card to have a look at it after. Although it's a very scary situation, it's incredible that the pilot kept it as straight as he did. I've watched it a couple of times in awe of the precision that it takes to land an airliner, never mind an airliner with malfunctioning landing gear!

The ATC tower was commenting that the pilot was calm and collected the entire time. Yes I know they are trained for these situations, but actually experiencing one is a different story I'm sure. Just incredible!
