At this minute a Jet Blue Airbus is circling to use up fuel for an emergency landing in California. Apparently the front gear is at a ninty degree angle.

I'm watching it now, and FOX is all jacked up in their reporting. They've already contradicted themselves and got wrong facts about 90 thousand times....lol

I could never watch these things. Hope everyone is alright after they get it on the ground.Jeff

Just read from another site, where this happened a few years ago. All the rubber shreaded, but the nose strut stayed intact.

Jeff, the news media always screws up the facts, it's almost comical if this situation wasn't so serious.

Was it an Airbus in the previous incident?Jeff

I live 5 miles from LAX and looks like they will use 25L. I will be able to view the a/c from my backyard as it approaches the runway.

I watched him past by. Great landing, nose gear held.

Right on the centerline. Great job!

BRILLIANT landing by the Jet Blue pilot....fantastic! Right down the centreline. The bloke earned his pay this evening...and then some.Respect http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/otn/wink/thumb.gifAlso wasn't it wicked how the landing gear leg held up like that!?

Absolutely Brilliant job by that whole crew. Glad to see they brought it home without incident.

It does give you new respect for the design and strengh of Airbuses.

Maybe the strength. But how in the world did the nose gear end up like that? Hats off to the pilots though.http://www.kthxdone.com/images/kw_ft.jpgKen Weik [link:maam.org|MAAM-SIM][link:library.avsim.net/search.php?CatID=root&SearchTerm=kenneth+weik&Sort=Added&ScanMode=0&Go=Change+View]My AFCADs

Thanks God, and the Pilot, everybody is ok!!!!

It's always incidents like this that show what a bunch of incompetent imbeciles the press really are. I lost count of how many times the phrase "life-or-death situation" was used, and some particularly moronic LA commentator speculated that the nose strut would either "snap off" or "be ground down to nothing". If I was in charge that guy would be flipping burgers now, but he'll probably end up with a promotion.
