Plane Lands Safely in Los Angeles After Landing Gear Becomes Stuck
by bucy at 1:12 am EDT, Sep 22, 2005 |
A JetBlue airliner whose front landing gear became stuck at a 90-degree angle after takeoff landed safely Wednesday night after circling the skies over Los Angeles for nearly three hours. Many of the 140 passengers watched live coverage of their plight on television monitors embedded in the backs of seats.
I watched this live on CNN this afternoon (while working out at the Gym at Google, no less). |

Wow. Bet that was a mindjob, watching your potential demise from a third person perspective while it unfolded. I say give that pilot a medal. That was a great landing. |

Give those damn pilots a raise. I watch it live too ( on the unbalanced right-wing channel ) and it was amazing. I think I held my breath while the thing was screaching to a halt. |
