I watched it on TV. Glad they're OK.

That was sure a beautiful, textbook perfect landing. I have experienced a few *normal* landings much rougher than that one. Of course, the three hours those poor passengers were in the air anticipating the emergency landing must have seemed like an eternity. I can't imagine what it must have been like for them. All kinds of horrible outcomes were probably going through their heads.

Yes, thank God, everyone is okay.

Just getting back here. WOW...watching the landing... I think the cable networks made more out of it than needed to be BUT as a passenger I would have been freaking...I'm impressed with the calm of the pilots and the airline AND...AS someone who FINALLY solo'd... the bluejets pilots rocked!!! WHAT a great perfect flair....left rudder...dip the left wing so the nose ends right up in the middle!!!! TOO COOL!!!! ( ah hem...I'm repeating much of what my more experienced pilot husband said...but makes me sound knowledable doesn't it????)
