Get everyone there so when the plane doesn’t crash in a huge fireball and instead simply lands fine (albeit rough) the news guys can all look dejected on national TV!

Did they borrow some Goodyear tires from NASCAR? And another yellow flag lap in the American Airlines 500.

Not sure a blown tire constitutes a DECLARED emergency landing. If your gear won’t deploy, then sure, THAT’s an emergency.

Not sure about AA procedures by any means.

They’d only show commercials anyway during the news, especially as the plane actually trouched down.

Cue the duck.

Landed ok - some rubber did come off the blown tire during landing.

Didn’t they just have a plane have an emergency landing with a blown tire only within the past month or so?

and wasn’t it also an American Airlines plane?
