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.

Someone on MSNBC actually asked that...
.but the other person said...No, the souls on board would be getting ready for a crash landing, and not watching TV......
That is chilling.

A320 landing gear made by Messier-Dowty, who also make the landing gear for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
So, now you can all bash Boeing too (787 is made up of many foreign made parts, as are most Boeing planes)

What do we know -- but I'm glad you agree. I'd sure try to foam the runway.

Leave it down for safety for one thing, why risk another gear failure, now you have no gear?

He should have told the passengers that a couple dozen lawyers have followed the ambulances as they pulled into LAX.

I have to hand it to MSNBC (as pigs fly by my window), they are assuming the passengers are watching on their DirecTV and whoever is talking now is assuring the passengers directly that there is a very high probability that they will be on the ground safely very soon.
