KABC Channel 7, live broadcast

A Jet Blue aircraft just did a low altitude flyby of Long Beach airport after reporting some concern with their forward gear. The television helicopter caught an image of it - the gear is turned sideways and tilted.

Aircraft is heading out towards the ocean to drop fuel, will turn around, and attempt a 'soft field' landing, keeping the nose up as long as possible.

Hey! Aren't those nose gear tires -- black?? Where's Sharpton? Where's Jackson?

[Trust but Verify]

What the heck kind if microphone does that guy on MSNBC have? My husband said it looks like a pretend one.

And doesanyone else hear all the studio noise on CNN? It sounds like people tipping chairs over!

Tower just cleared him to land. Pilot calm.

[A CA Guy]

Good Luck! Here she comes.

[milagro]

Am listening to MSNBC--reporter said they were flying around to get rid of fuel--but "of course, would want to have enough left to land." Well--DUH! Just 'cuz your landing gear doesn't work doesn't mean you should just drop out of the sky! LOL.
