Jet Blue Gear Problem

[viper548]

Pins or not, that nosegear underwent a lot of stress on that landing

 

[Dash8]

couldn't have been too much stress, the strut even seemed to function normally, right as they came to a stop it gave that little oil/air strut bounce

They bought their tickets--they knew what they were getting into! I say LET'EM CRASH!!!

LoL!!!!

LoL!!!!

That was not the least bit funny.. what if people had died???

I heard on TV that the crew did an autolanding, that's why it looked so good.

If you unload from the front, the pax won't get thrown as far when the nose makes sudden downward pitching moment.

Plus, I bet they pinned the gear right away.

Nice job! Now who did the Service Bulletin from Airbus?

 

[LegacyDriver]

An overheated and stressed gear strut isn't going to care much about a gear pin!

At least put a jack under there...

Imagine that episode of "Homicide: Life on the Street" where Private Pyle gets mashed between a subway train and the concrete loading deck. Ewwww.
