Jonathan Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 That was a better landing than most flights I've been on.
jumbach Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I really hope they make it. It landed safely. YAY!!!! But which runway? It looked like they came down over the 405--so it's probably 7/25. But I can't tell for sure looking at the pictures.
ShoubraStreet74 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Yup, looks like they made it. Some sparks and rubber burning but everything seems fine...
Nrthwnd Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 The pilots and inflight crew RULED! I was so scared watching it, hoping it wouldn't just nose dive into the tarmac. What a crew!
SLUSHIE Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Well that was dissapointing. JK. It was handled well, and everyone is safe. I thought the sparks might light the wings on fire because they might of had fuel on them from dumping.
DKSoCal Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I watched it from my house. Pretty intense in the last few seconds before landing.
jumbach Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 They said 25L on MSNBC. Cool, thanks. Being an aviation geek (wanna see my FAA ground school completion certificate?), I was curious. I'm glad my hunch was right.
Angry_Gumball Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I just got done seeing that...that was crazy. Just what the passengers needed to see on their TVs was a sparking wheel from their plane...
Kroger8 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I watched it from when they interrupted the Rita: Queen of Hurricanes coverage, until it landed (except for a like 20 minute period where I went to McDonalds) and that guy who worked for NBC-Universal said that it was the smoothest landing he has ever had on a plane. :shock: lol well, Im glad it turned out well, and the gear didn't collapse!
Nemmy Posted September 22, 2005 Author Posted September 22, 2005 The TVs were turned off for the landing, according to our always-"reliable" source, MSNBC.
SharkTums Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah, but I don't think I would have liked to sit on that plane for 11 minutes after it landed...plus I would have been pissed to go through an emergency landing and not get to use the damn slides!
Kroger8 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I KNOW!^ lol like on Airplane! "Thank you for flying Trans American, have a nice day!"
Kroger8 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 LOL^ from like 6:45 to like 9:45 there was a Jetblue plane that had it's landing gear turned 90 degrees from where it was supposed to be, so it was going to burn up its fuel and make an emergency landing at LAX, and did, and everything turned out ok!
Mr.Six Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah, but I don't think I would have liked to sit on that plane for 11 minutes after it landed...plus I would have been pissed to go through an emergency landing and not get to use the damn slides! Yeah, all that and no slide credit.
Nemmy Posted September 22, 2005 Author Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah. I remember reading a story about this one guy who had a Cessna Caravan Amphibian, and he'd land on a lake, and slide down the escape slide in his bathing suit...do Caravan Amphibians even have escape slides?
jumbach Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah, but I don't think I would have liked to sit on that plane for 11 minutes after it landed...plus I would have been pissed to go through an emergency landing and not get to use the damn slides! Yeah, I agree, I would have wanted to slide!!!
Token Yankee Guy Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Ok, I'm finally caught up on what happend. I gotta say, the crew did an excellent job in a perfect emergency landing. People on the plane said that it was a very smooth landing.
Nemmy Posted September 22, 2005 Author Posted September 22, 2005 People on the plane said that the landing couldn't have been smoother...if it was landed by a paraplegic.
BelizeIt Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Since JetBlue began it's Flight Operations, everything I've read or heard about this Airline has been very positive. Eventhough I personally have never had the occasion to fly with JetBlue, I would eagerly do so. It doesn't surprise me that their flight crew handled this situation with distinction. I imagine that the owners of JetBlue are going to take very good care of those passangers, for all they had to go thru. This is a first rate, very well run, Airline.
DATman Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I don't know if anyone else posted about this, but the same thing happened in china a week ago. glad everyone was safe!
