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.

Boeing uses same manufacturer that Airbus uses on landing gear for the 787.

I've always watched MSNBC more than Fox... I like the anchors better.

I'm a chick so lip gloss doesn't do much for me, and Shep is an airhead.

I was sent an email with photographs of an Airbus last week from a Honeywell engineer/pilot in Florida - He will not fly on any Airbus aircraft himself.





For real? Your entire post? If so, I am stunned.

What do you expect? It isn't a slow speed car chase thru LA. Those always get full coverage.

I bet the Fox producers didn't stop to think that there could be a cute blond teenage girl onboard and IN DANGER!

They won't cover it fulltime now, live, but the repeats will be endless.

Landing east to west at LAX, southern runways.

MSNBC commentator gave the runway number, but I didn't catch it.
