The plane whose gear is pictured is moving from left to right. – David Richerby.
The Boeing 767 main landing gear is not actually spaced further apart than other twin-engine wide-bodies: (Data source: Boeing Airplane Characteristics and Airbus Aircraft Characteristics) As you can see, the 767 has the shortest gear spacing of all of these aircraft.
LOT Polish Airlines Flight 16 was a Boeing 767 (registered SP-LPC) passenger jet on a scheduled service from Newark, United States, to Warsaw, Poland, that on 1 November 2011 made a successful gear-up emergency landing at Warsaw Chopin Airport, after its landing gear failed to extend.
