Breaking: Jet Blue emergency landing, Long Beach, CA (UPDATE: Plane Landed Safely)
KABC Channel 7, live broadcast

Posted on 09/21/2005 4:21:43 PM PDT by kingu

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.

After watching this, I think I need to run down to the local Staples or Office Max, and re-do some legal paperwork.

Get the "ducks in a row" doncha know?

Just a little reminder to myself. Watching this gave me that "feeling" again, I hope to never go through again.

Thank God, these people are okay. Many of His blessings I hope are bestowed onto the flight crew and pilots.

I just heard someone on board did "Blackberry" someone and told them the airline had cut the TV off about 5:30 LA time.

No, we can't. But don't need large useless graphics >50 KB on breaking news threads. Not all of us have DSL, T1 or cable modems. Nautinurse's threads do very well at less than 50 KB and most posters here know that also.

I'm not negative at all!

This was a fabulous landing and a great success by some great skilled pilots!

Sorry I ranted.... it's just a pet peeve I should have kept to myself.

Antonio Villaigarosa at the airport, showboating for the cameras. Slick.

- Bush didn't fund the FAA enough...it took too long to clear the airspace.
_ Bush could've funded more maintenance training....this incident would not have happened.
-Bush did not enforce stricter airplane construction regulations
-Bush did not provide LA with enough homeland defense money....first responders were poorly equipped and slow
Bush is a racist and wanted to kill all Mexicans in Southern California

Now no one needs to watch CNN tomorrow.

Now, I'm wondering just HOW this happened.

Has Hillary asked for a Senate investigation yet?

(Kidding! Nice to hear some good news for a change. Great landing, thank God!)

Yay, good job to the pilots.

Amazing, perfectly straight down the center line.
