Jet Blue Flight 292

[swanny]

The landing gear is all fucked up and they are burning fuel off before they crash land. On MSNBC as we speak.

The landing gear is sideways!?!?!!

*edit: My step-father works for American Airlines, and is an airplane mechanic, he says the air-bus is just an altogether ###### airplane. They cut corners in production, and he says you can feel the wings flex when on the plane.

OMG, itz like teh Day 4fter T0moroW!!1111one


:hide:


Seriously though, hope everyone on that flight makes it down okay. If the pilot is good, he can probably belly-land it on some soft surface, and not break anything vital, so long as he has a large area to slow down.

LAX has some of the widest runways.

WOW... WHAT A LANDING... AMAZING... Couldn't have done it better if they tried a 2nd time...

 

[Celerity]

Awesome, I actually applauded that one. The attitude of the plane was stark on, he burned the gear just perfectly. Truly a pro.

Hell of a landing, goddamn!

 

[alaskancodkiller]

AWWW I MISSED IT!!

 

[phunky.buddha]

I missed it too.... I'm sure they'll have a replay though.

 

[TurboMirage]

you can watch it on cnn.com.

Totally crazy...i usually think to myself "I coulda done that better" but on this one, i dont think it does get much better than that. No one died...a lil bit of soot on the plane, and new front landing gear will be required. i think thats the best case scenario, and that is exactly what happened.

That pilot has MAD skillz.. He should get a million dollar bonus or something.

There is no way in hell it could have gone any smoother than that.
