On 28 August 2002, an Airbus A320-200 being operated by America West had touched down in daylight at Phoenix following the completion of an uneventful scheduled service passenger flight when an asymmetrical deployment of the thrust reversers occurred and the flight crew were unable to maintain directional control of the aircraft, which veered off the runway, causing a collapse of the nose landing gear and substantial damage to the forward fuselage. 1 of the 159 occupants was seriously injured and 9 others received minor injuries.
