 Posted: 09/21/05 - 21:14 Post subject: Jet Blue Emergency Landing
Just saw this Live on Fox.
The planes front landing gear was sideways and the plane made an emergency landing at LAX.
Freaky to watch the landing, a lot of sparks from the landing gear, but the plane slowed down, no one is hurt, plane is safe.
Great job to the pilot and crew for bringing this plane in safe

Thing of beauty that landing was. The pilot has to have an amazing touch with the controls to not only slow the plane while using the rear wheels (i have to imagine the nose is going to want to pull down like hell during that), then to slowly drop the front end without putting the full weight of the jet on the crooked wheel until the last possible second.
The man must have a very satisfied wife at home.
And jet blue has direct TV so they were watching themselves up to 10 minutes before landing......scary stuff

I am sure this was NOT an easy task, either.
