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.

Yes, it looks 'off' from what little I can see on TV.

Edwards has a 30,000+ foot runway in a lake bed. That might help a lot. Prayers for all on board!

Ok, but if the nose gear is twisted or angled as they say, couldn't this send the aircraft into a spin when the nose does touch the ground?
