Live on TV --- Airbus with ####-eyed nose gear

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

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

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.
