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.

No fuel dump ability?
Not good engineering.

KFWB news in Los Angeles says that the plane can't dump fuel. All it can do is fly and burn fuel. This may last for awhile -- hours.
