Bwizzel-B Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 What are you smiling about? I'd much rather this event not even exist to be filmed than have all these lives at risk. 586560594[/snapback] Oh, put a sock in it bangbang. If the TV stations had any decency, they wouldn't broadcast the emergency landing. But that would be bad for their ratings. They should be fine.

Rudy 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. 586560638[/snapback] they just dumped some fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted September 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 22, 2005 And yet, you can still stfu. 586560663[/snapback] What's the matter? Have no point to make? Personally, as I said, I wish they wouldn't show this, but I'm sure as heck not going to find pleasure in it or make snive comments about it when you have so many people on board the aircraft.

Jeremy1 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Anything... 15 minutes know. :x586560673[/snapback] I'm sure there'll be 100 posts as soon as the plane touches down. Calm down. There's just nothing to say until it lands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvez Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Anyways, still wondering how they will be able to land, will they close the front-wheel or that's impossible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted September 22, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted September 22, 2005 well they are possibly contemplating whether they should try a "touch and go" to see if that will straighten it out. planes are designed to crash like this, so hopefully everything will be ok.

They hope that the front wheel will just shear off, so that it doesn't take the plane off the runway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Downin Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 There is a live feed on msnbc.com for those that are interested. According to them it will still be about 15 minutes until touch down... Lets all hope for the best. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that I'm not an expert, but a "touch and go" just sounds about 10 times as risky as just landing and holding on tight. (By the way, Paula is being somewhat of a, well, "meanie." She interrupted that guy on the phone right in the middle of his sentence. And she asked something like "Well, what do you think they are going to do now?" and the call in guy said something like "There's not much they can do. They will probably just try to land as smoothly as possible and hope for the best." DUH Paula! What do you think they're going to do? Land in a field of fluffy marshmallows?)

nvez Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 There is a live feed on msnbc.com for those that are interested.

Deathray Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 The possible alternate is to keep the nose up for as long as possible until the airplane slows down a lot and then let the nose touch down. There aint a lot of fuel, but chances are the nose wheel will blow out, but chances of dying are not likely as of now. They are well prepared and basically waiting for the plane. Also, the passengers will prolly get another speech on proper evacuation orders and where everyone should go. Key thing is that this crash landing is expected.

Lets all hope for the best. :( 586560692[/snapback] CNN just said somebody told them 8:50 (EST) and they said that is about 3 minutes from now. And all that was about 1 minute ago. So, using my massive math skills, about 2 minutes? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
