The source, who made a point of saying that both pilots were women, said it flew like this at 230 knots - as opposed to around 500 knots - for about an hour-and-a-half, while the extended landing gear dragged heavily on the aircraft.

I read that and couldn't believe it. The wind noise from the nose gear is loud inside the cockpit. It's like driving a convertible and not knowing the top is down. How can you miss that?

I would hate to be the maintenance crew chief for that aircraft. Whenever something embarrassing is blatant pilot error, there is almost always an attempt to shift the blame to maintenance.
