Emergency Landing at LAX

[Guest Rabbit]

A JetBlue Airplane just had an Emergency landing at LAX a few hours ago... It's front wheel was twisted sideways, and bent up a bit, so they had a little trouble landing, as you can imagine...

The pilots landed it perfectly though, and nobody was injured, and it was so good they didn't even have to use the emergency exits, and those little slides... I saw it unfold on the news myself...[/url]

Ya, I saw that too, those pilots are very skillful, see how he made it stay in the middle of the runway? Awesome.

the JetBlue plane landed but, it grinded up it's front landing wheel

That really doesn't matter though, they knew that was going to happen. A wheel doesn't compare with 100 something lives. :shock:

Huh.. Interesting.

 

Huh. Just saw that vid. He's a pretty good pilot...

YEah, a "text book" landing... honestly I hate when they say that. Cause that isn't something they prepare for, it isn't in the text book, so they shoudn't give the textbook more recognition than the pilot... :?

[Guest MadBadger]

well least he didnt end up like this guy.

EXACTLY!

 

Theyre trained for that. Pilots I know said they expect it to happen more than once in their carrer :wink:

 

This incident just happened to be near a TV crew in LA with planes that have sattelite TV :wink: :wink:

I wonder how they "train" them to land with a wheel sideways... :?

 

It would be interesting...

[Guest Rabbit]

Wow, that gives you a lot to think about... :?:

Comercial pilots clock weeks of time on simulators training for almost every eventuality.

I would hope so...otherwise it would be...less safe to fly on airlines, especially some of the new Airbus's: they've had problems with them
