BroChaos Veteran Posted September 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 22, 2005 If you guys are in LA, put on the news. http://kcal9.com/topstories/topstoriesla_s..._264192052.html "LONG BEACH, Calif. (CBS) A JetBlue airliner with a nose gear malfunction was preparing this afternoon to make an emergency landing at a Southland airport. Flight 292 took off at 3:17 p.m. from Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, bound for John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City with 145 passengers aboard. The problem with the nose gear, which was down and locked but tilted about 90 degrees to the left, led air traffic controllers to direct the crew of the Airbus 320 to dump as much fuel as possible over the ocean before attempting a landing -- either at Long Beach or Los Angeles International airports. " lets hope they make it down ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvez Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Scary, I'd imagine being there, hanging, and burning fuel KNOWING that they'll maybe or a big chance of dying. Pretty scary, too bad I don't have cable TV here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
