Kudos to the pilots for making a perfect landing, considering the situation.I wouldn't have wanted to have been a passenger up there for 3 f-ing hours, though I'm amazed that the Airbus isn't able to dump fuel

Normally in a sitation like that they would just fly out over the ocean and dump the fuel there, not over a heavily populated area.

I think that aircrew (including the flight attendants) earned a cold beer for that whole episode today!

I give it
Excellent job. I was talking to a friend in Houston about their plans to leave for the hurricane. When I saw the landing about to happen I said "Let me call you back. Real crisis in the making." Now they won't answer...

Here's a couple of pics:
How the front landing gear looked... ![]() And, how that wheel looked skidding down the runway...

Thankfully everything went well. I couldn't even imagine what was going through the passengers minds.
I hope they recheck every jetblue plane as my parents and brother are flying out to Burbank airport from JFK this coming saturday. |

when the front landing gear caught on fire it was intense!
but it seemed airport officials and the pilot knew exactly what they were doing, so that was a good thing. one traumatic event is over, now lets all make a prayer for those who will have to face rita...
