A jetliner carrying 71 people wound up landing on its nose at Newark Liberty International Airport last night after its front wheel failed to deploy.

No one aboard the flight from Atlanta was hurt.

“We just thought it was the end,’’ passenger Steve Parowski told the Star Ledger of Newark.

“I just sent a text to my sons letting them know that I loved them and I hoped everything worked out.’’

As soon as he got off the plane, he sent another text:

“I landed and I’m alive.’’

His next call was to his attorney, who then told him to call for grief counseling.

Susie call Dr. West....tell him its for me.

Sounds plausible. Call me crazy, but I really think the reactions of a passenger will always be based on how well informed they are by the pilot and how calm the pilot is. I've been in the back during an emergency situation in which the pilots described it without much detail and that they had to "go back and attempt" an emergency landing. That was it. Now being a pilot, I understood the problem and realized it wasn't a biggie, but the passengers I saw were very visibly upset after not really understanding what was going on.

Compare that to a flight a friend of mine was on, it was an RJ and they had to shut an engine down in flight. He distinctly remembers the pilot being calm and very detailed, saying something along the lines of "I've had this twice in my career, it's really not a big deal, and unfortunately stuff like this happens once in a while, it's very rare. But we'll have you on the ground safely in just a few minutes, sorry for the the inconvenience!" He said that it sounded more like a nuisance than a full blown emergency landing. I don't think this flight made it to any social media sites.

It's all how you explain it. Remember, the average John Doe does not know airplanes. If he hear the wheels aren't out or the nose gear isn't out, he's picturing a piece of metal being hurled across the tarmac at over 100 mph with no gear, just scraping by, with the wings rupturing and fuel catching fire.

These attorneys are probably having the last laugh making the big bucks while us smucks are chasing airplanes, being away from home, being jerked around by crew support, making squat pay, etc, etc, etc. Maybe we all should of became lawyers instead of pilots.

If all you valued was money, then yes you could become a successful lawyer by being an ambulance chaser and airplane accident prostitute.

Looking your wife and kids in the eyes and being proud of what you do and the manor in which you do it might be a different story.

Ethics in society are more or less just dead. It seems the majority don't care, and that's exactly why the financial meltdown happened in 2007-2010. Greed prevails, and people are willing to screw others to get ahead. It's capitalism's long-term downfall.

He then got an $11000 fine for failing to comply with crew member instructions.

I'm sure most of them really believe they provide a valuable service to the public and have no problem looking their wife and kids in the eyes.

I can't find it anymore (on the interwebs that Gore has invented for us) but not long ago I read an article by some Dr. reasearch people/think tank that found what people are scared of most (or what frieightens them most).

You would think it would be something like no money/home/job/family member loss or health problem, right?

Nope - this "think tank" says the 2 things poeple ( I assume in the USA) fear the most are airplanes (specifically crashing and or airplanes falling on their house) and snakes.

I guess it is why it's so easy to get money out of aviation when something goes wrong. And then I guess snakes on a plane that crashes or has an emerg. landing would be a lawyers wet dream.

People in this country are quick to "believe" things that are completely contrary to truth, science, and social morality.

Don't laugh. The display cooling fans on the CRJ700 are going to make me deaf. And who knows what kind of radiation we are getting from the cockpit.
Make no mistake, flying is killing us.

True - I have perminate nerve damage to the bottom of my legs from the seats on the 170/175/190 and I've already cut my leg on the 737 cup holder.
