JetBlue emergency landing (merged)

[English]

Jetblue flight 292

Anybody know who the crew is? I have a couple of buddies that work there.

BUR-JFK, diverted to LGB. Gear looks down but the nosewheel landing gear looks cocked off to the side.


Hope it all turns out ok for everyone.

Turn on Fox News!

Damn Dish network...they put FOX News on the most expensive package, so I didn't get it.

dang Dish network...they put FOX News on the most expensive package, so I didn't get it.

It's a vast left-wing conspiracy.

Why BUR? Pretty short runway

It's a vast left-wing conspiracy.

I know it is. CNN, CNN Headline News, and MSNBC are all on the cheapo package.

I thought the same thing. Why not LAX? Remember though, this is a TV reporter we're watching.

True. I'll give the crew the benefit and say their destination was BUR, but they'll put it down at LAX

 

[rk772]

watching it on FOX news right now. Freekin scary man. Hope they get it stopped in one piece.

I would assume they'd go to LGB. The equipment is already standing by.

 

[garf12]

MSNBC is saying LAX now

 

[garf12]

Well MSNBC is also carying it.

 

[erj-145mech]

its on msnbc right now too

The same exact thing happened several years back at Phoenix with an America West Airbus. The nose gear did not collapse, it's a really strong gear strut, just all the tire rubber tore off. Hopefully this will end the same way.

I wouldn't stay and clean the cabin after this $hit.

According to FOX news, Airbus aircraft cannot dump fuel.

 

[SiuDude]

They just showed a close-up of the nose wheel. It's cocked about 80 degrees to the left.

 

[cloud seeder]

for those of you that can't see it on tv it is being broadcast on www.kcal.com.

JetBlue with nosegear problems? Currently circling, burning down fuel....

Anyone heard anything about this? My wife told me about it via a phone call from her mother. Third hand news, so it may not be real accurate....

so it's cocked, but can they retract it? i just heard abou this and am waiting for the commercials. do the main gear come down? i did see the picture of the nose gear, looks pretty nasty. looks like a dicey situation. good luck, JB.

 

[cforst513]

145 pax, getting ready to make an emergency landing at LAX, apparently. news said that they cannot dump fuel, as was mentioned earlier, so they are trying to burn some fuel off. is this true? i though all large a/c like that could jettison fuel.

 

[RP 04]

JetBlue about to bend a nosegear...

Watch MSNBC for details...

 

[erj-145mech]

You want to leave it extended so that it can't possibly jam in the wheel well.

 

[SiuDude]

Do you think the pax are watching this unfold on DirectTV?

According to FOX news, Airbus aircraft cannot dump fuel.

Shepard Smith (Fox news) speculated that this was the case, and later implied that this was confirmed. I can't hardly believe that a plane the size of an airbus can't dump fuel.

WHY??

Lots of a/c cant dump fuel.....MD80? Global Express? 757?....

you fly it around and get the fuel where you want - or just land it heavy.

WHATS the big deal with the fuel dump folks? .

These guys will ace this.....hold this nose off until about 40kts, shear off some parts, everyone will evacuate just fine...and they will be heroes!
