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.

expert on MSNBC just slammed airbus vs. boeing for airbus "not allowing the pilot flexibility at times like this", or something similar to that.

"I wouldn't want to be on the plane..."

To me that sort of negates everything else you said.

Good grief!

How could they possible omit a fuel-dump capability?

ValuJet turned into AirTran. JetBlue is a relatively new airline.

Soon as the nose gear touches the ground, all bets are off.

I think they should try a water landing myself...

Water landings have notoriously low survival rates even when everything goes well. Like near 0.
