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.

---MSNBC has the best coverage besides the local channels. Bob Arnott is the only one talking sense about this situation at this point---

MSNBC is saying they'll need to burn 90 mins of fuel to make a safe landing? This is going to go on for another 90 mins? How terrifying!

Continued prayers for all on board!

A millibar is a metric measure of inches of mercury. 30.00 in Hg is fair weather. Rita is something like 26.7_

If the gear is not put together correctly, it can get out of its internal alignment structure, thus this result.

Its a matter of chance how long it will go, you might get several operational cycles and the strut goes up into the clyinder like it should, then this.
