'soft field' indeed.
Here's to a successful landing or getting the gear righted.
I suspect the plane will be grounded until they replace the seats soon to be soiled..

Soft field landings mean that the pilot touches the main two gear down and holds the nose off of the ground as long as possible. This ensures the lowest possible touchdown speed of the nose wheel.
Wish them the best of luck!

Holy smoles. My husband and I are leaving Friday on a Jetblue flight, and my hubby HATES to fly. If he hears this on the news, I may not get him on the plane.

They are going out to sea to dump the fuel and make a landing attempt...
To: kingu
the gear is turned sideways and tilted.OMG!!
Hope they land safe.
To: kingu
Fortunately, this should turn out OK.... there are skid plates built in the nose of the aircraft in case of gear failure....
That is as long as the pilots are competent....
Hell of a ride for the passengers though.....
I'll never forget a flight where my wife was the passenger in back in a small aircraft and the rear door opened on approach....it was held partially shut by the rushing wind but the look on her face to me and my co-pilot was precious.....
