JetBlue emergency landing (merged)

[SiuDude]

Dumb question - can an A320 use diff. braking for steering?

Any plane with brakes can do differential steering.

I hope that nosewheel holds up a bit longer...

the cool thing is the pax probably could watch the whole thing on the tv!

Maybe the public will see that pilots do deserve every cent!

Well said, nice job guys! This is what a professional pilot(s) is about, knowing what to do in an emergency! Hope his wife got it on video!

 

[AlabamaMan!!]

That made me proud to watch. Who else felt that?

You ready to go drinking hoss?

We'll go have a few for those guys.

Wow......someone was looking out for them.....they had maybe 700 or so feet of runway left. My a$$ is still tightened up watching from my chair.

The best thing is a thread with 144 post and nothing about Netjets.

never thought about that, unless they turnned the tv off in the cabin. Possibly refund their money as well(i dont know for sure if JB charges for in flight tv like frontier)

Ticket on Jet Blue: $250

New A320 nosegear assembly: $100,000

Having Fox News preempt Bill O'Riley interviewing Phil Donahue to show flawless landing: priceless

Even more priceless .. Marth Stewart's reality show debut losing viewship due to the emergency.

[skypine69]

ok....funs over...back to my steak and beer

 

[NYCPilot]

Excellent job to the crew!!!

Those guys did a great job keeping it as safe as possible and on that centerline.

Since I don't have cable TV I watched every moment on an internet news feed.

This bud's for you dude.....

 

[Gulfstream 200]

OK...most disturbing thing I can see...picture perfect landing then.....

jetblue(?) / gung-ho emergency fools are all gathering UNDERNEATH the Airbus with the busted nose gear.

WTF folks?
