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.

140 passengers and 6 crew members.
I guess we'll find out what happened and didn't happened soon.
Very confusing.
They are prepared on the ground. God speed.

Have been chain smoking for the last 30 minutes. I'd like to think everyone on the plane has been too.
Screw the rules.

Great work. You beat MSNBC to announcing this 1999 story from Columbus.
To: Black Tooth
That's what I understand. Now it is going to LAX.

I agree, but that what the local chatter was saying.
Just reported, still not into an LAX approach pattern at this time.
