Every airport should have a runway covered 10 feet in gummy bears on standby just in case something like this happens. Again, only in the case of an emergency. Not for eating.

It’s better than a wing falling off.

From the article:
“...When the nose wheel hit the plane, the pilot grabbed it...”

Everyone walked away. No casualties. Hence a good landing.

Oh, that's all. For second there I thought one of the passengers stripped naked and pranced through the aisle.

There needs to be a new comedy series on TV.
It will be a lot like RENO 911, but it will be based at an airport instead of a police station. Guaranteed hit!

All tickets on a flight that’s using a trainee pilot should be 50% off, heh. And the light attendants should get danger pay.

Reminds me of that LAX Airbus with the front landing gear cocked 90°.

Flew him around for an hour or more to lighten the load.

Came in and scraped along. he front gear might have needed emplacement.

Every landing while on an Airbus I remember that.

Well, it just lost one wheel. I think they have 2 on the front gear. But it sounds like the Delta pilot that forgot to flair and ended up upside down.

So the Spirit Airways passengers stopped beating each other long enough to focus on the wheel falling off? Amazing.

Chaos in the cockpit sounds like Endeavor airlines — the DEI outfit that flipped the plane upside down in Canada.

Oh, it IS DEI. They advertise as having no male pilots, by company directive.
