KD in CA Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Very nice landing by the pilot. I can't believe the gear held up while the front tire burned up beneath him. And I'm sure Jet Blue's insurance company is happy since he saved millions of dollars of damage to the plane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalobillsfootball Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 jetBLUE is an awesome airline. i wish they would buy out USAirways. BUF airprices would continue to fall drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hopefully someone will post video online sometime. Sounds cool. In other news: It's raining in Minnesota. And I still can't watch Lost because of it. EDIT: Because the news people are talking about the storm, not because of DirecTV. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary M Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I noticed something very odd tonight. I have never seen a jetblue commercial on TV, but tonight during LOST they showed a Jet Blue commercial a few minutes after the plane landed safely.

Just Jack Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I think some of the comments from the passengers were funny. Crippled Jet Lands Safely at L.A. Airport Hadn't anyone seen this movie before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 They noticed the gear was jazzed up right away... Why fly in circles for 3 hours? Why not just take it from LA to NYC and land there? Avoiding the agony? Got to spend the three hours in the air dumping the fuel... Why not make it productive and get the people to their destination?

Or maybe the gear being down somehow affects the abilty of the jet to fly at a higher altitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I guess it's a rough week for landing gear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kegtapr Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 The drag of the stuck gear can actually adversely affect performance enough that the plane may not be able to make it to NY. 450351[/snapback] Plus, if they had to make an emergency landing for another reason between LA and NY, they may not have had an ideal runway available given the landing gear situation.
