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.

How does the gear get bent?

Maybe something hit it with great force during takeoff?

Not really all that scary (unless you know your nose wheel is malfunctioning!!!). In the cockpit, it just means that the pilot(s) keep pulling back on the controls after the main two wheels have touched down, whereas they would normally let the nose wheel down gently.

It probably isn't bent, it's just not down all the way.

I checked all the channels and there was nary any coverage about a guy who threatened to blow himself up while in the process of robbing a jewelry store.

Apparently, the jewelry store was not many blocks from a train depot.

There is a thread on it somewhere here.

Has a full load of fuel, trying to get the fuel unloaded over the ocean before attempting the landing. May take quite some time to dump that much fuel.

Took something like 40 minutes to an hour to dump enough fuel from a flight from Seattle to Amsterdam to get down to landing weight. Engine blew right after takeoff.

Nothing on those channels about the possible terrorist situation in Jersey City either.

What's that about?
