Fox's Shepard Smith pointed out that the Frog airplane, a 300A Airbus, cannot dump fuel. It has no doubt flown around to consume fuel to lessen the danger of fire when a "soft" landing is attempted.

Such landings are often pulled off without injuring anyone aboard. Let us pray that this is such a landing.

Fox won't take it off BOR. Just a split screen and no info. You do, however, get to hear BOR's opinion with Trump. UGH!

[tubebender]

I'm working on that for my next book...

[bonfire]

We need to barrage FOX with emails over this one.

The history of this particular nose gear is collapse when stressed to excessive forces, ie: too steep of a landing, but that is with the wheels in the correct orientation. It could collapse or shear at the pinion. Either way, I think the Captain will do his job well.

How can you watch Shep do a story like this and not want to shoot the television??? Turn it to MSNBC and plug your nose!

They're planning on a fire. They're prepared.

110 firefighters on scene.

[RTINSC]

It's possible the onboard computer system can be set to maintain the correct angle of the aorcraft while landing so as to minimize the speed at which the nose will level.

[Colonial Warrior]

The pilots are ready by now...waiting on logistics on the ground to have everything ready. Emergency equipment, ambulances, etc.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Thanks for the links.

Watching it here now.

Fox has forgoten what made them #1
We dont want talking heads! we want news!

[coloradan]

That happened to me once too, except there was no foam. New Haven to Washington, DC. I learned a new euphemism that say, the fire trucks paralleling us down the runway, spouts aimed at us, were "administrative procedures." We too had a malfunctioning landing gear light - the gear was fine and we landed normally. But, I was near to getting airsick for the first and only time, between the stress of the situation and the fact we were circling for hours in choppy air.

O'Reilly still interviewing Donald Trump. Fox not devoting much time to this.

[toomanygrasshoppers]

Prayers up!!

We could be nuked and FOX will cut away to an ad.

What, they'll have video of it when they get back.

That you'll see over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...................

Maybe we can get this Jeep to LAX!
