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.
Well, O'Reilly's argument show is being postponed for live coverage of the emergency.
I'm watching FOX and they keep claiming that plane can't dump fuel.
Exactly. Here's hoping it all turns out OK, but the "experts" don't know everything.
I've seen FNC stay with car chases. Guess this is not as exciting until the landing?
Hey there nic.
Yep... New York Post, live.
Oh good Karl- glad to see you aren't on that plane :)
I just want to wish you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
Jet Blue does maintenance in El Salvador.
Is the CA National Guard in Iraq? That will be a line of attack from the Left after this incident.
Under the plane, most likely.
Is it going to fly into the aircraft? Cause an explosion?
Probably not.
I quit flying years ago after a flight from LAX in a storm that made the airplane bounce all over and I was bruised and terrified by the time we landed. Never again. Just watching this gives me hives!
The heavy maintenance is in El Salvador
They are all new, good little 100 seaters.
There was another european airliner that was forced to land with no fuel...in a dead glide...because clip type A was used to retain a hose, rather than the nearly identical clip type B.
LA Fire saying 10 minutes out...and heading in
They are going to be switching freqs on approach, if you find it, let me know.
onyx just switched from them because they weren't covering...I switched over when they decided the Bloviator should carry his normal program instead, and MSNBC has been covering non-stop....maybe Fox decided to report news for a bit. : )
Works for me.
Looks as if they are going to be ok.
Laurie Dhue- "What are the passengers going to do?"

Gawd, she is dumber than Babs Boxer!
