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.

I like those emergency areas too. Guest on Foxnews pointing out how pilots train for hours and hours every year to deal with emergencies just like this.

No, they wont wait till dark. Pilot needs to make this landing near perfect.He's either got to do it soon, or wait till the sun goes down, since the glare will be a problem if he's pointed at it. I don't know if the runway is straight into the sun or off at an angle - I'm only going from the speculations I've heard from others on the thread.
