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.

I still will never fly JetBlue. Either they buy crappy French planes or their maintenance guys are drunk.

Please remember all your items from the above stowaway compartments. Thank you for flying jet blue - have a nice day.
