L.A. area turn on the news

[Sicy]

Or probly all of California... There's a Jet blue plane in the air that cant land because the landing gear is turned sideways. They are trying to figure out what to do. This is at Los Angeles airport. God I hope this doesnt end in disaster

Pilots did a fantastic job! x's 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

 

[zoney!]

EXCELLENT CAPTAINS! WOW!!!!

 

[arw]

That was so scary to watch. I'm glad they've landed.

 

[zoney!]

Wow...he/she did an amazing job keeping the plane OFF of that front gear.

Mind you...JetBlue is a fairly new airline...and has REALLY new aircraft. Their whole fleet is A320 (airbus - Euro manufacturing. Good planes).

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

My heart was beating very fast. It was scary to watch, I can't imagine what it was like to be a passenger.

 

[Sicy]

Omg I was shitting so bad watching that. Thank god!!!!!!!!

 

[zoney!]

So weird...I wasn't as nervous. I think I was pretty confident of the situation.

 

[arw]

I'm still shaking!

 

[zoney!]

Canyon Blue....

Each JetBlue aircraft is called "(SOMETHING) Blue"

I am glad they are using airstairs rather than the slides. People usually get hurt using slides.

 

[VertigoGal]

I didn't see it (I'm sure they'll replay it)...but thank god that ended alright. to the pilots, seems like they did a great job.

 

[Sicy]

I'm still shaking!

Me too!!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Jeff you should call in to Larry King live right now to provide the expert viewpoints.

 

[MrBrau1]

Can you imagine being on the plane, and watching tv footage on cnn, of the plane landing?

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

NO! I would assume they turned the tv units off? All Jetblue planes have DishTV, right?

 

[anadgemila]

Pilots did a great job. The passengers are just getting off now. I can't imagine sitting there for three hours knowing there was a problem.

 

[zoney!]

I am calling Larry an idiot right now.

Long Beach airport is JetBlue's West Coast hub. The JB Mechanics are probably there...as well as other JB officials.

I think the interesting argument moving forward will the Maintenance done on the aircraft. I know JB does vendor maintenance...outside of the US. I KNOW people are going to bark up that tree in the next ten minutes.

WHY is larry concerned about the plane?

 

[zoney!]

NO! I would assume they turned the tv units off? All Jetblue planes have DishTV, right?

Yes.

Flight Attendants have the ability to turn it off

 

[shy]

I just saw here, thanks God!!!!!

 

[zoney!]

Something not mentioned....this IS a scenario that pilots go through in "simulator" training.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Yeah, the MSNBC people are saying that the pilots are trained for this.

I have always wanted to fly jetBlue. Just a side note. /random and useless comment.

Larry King talked to someone that said it's something they are trained for.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

According to a passenger, the tv's were turned off to calm the passengers down.

ME too

In fact, before I got my current job, I was trying to find a way to work for them too. Still could be in my future.

ARW9797...TORNADOS?????

 

[RedRocksU2]

Give that pilot A HUGE raise!!!!!!!!!

 

[Zoots]

Must've been one hair raising experience!

 

[zoney!]

Give that pilot A HUGE raise!!!!!!!!!

Their contract is not up for a few years...
