JetBlue Flight 292 took off from the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California, at 3.17pm yesterday bound for New York, but the crew quickly discovered that its front wheels were stuck in a sideways position and could not be retracted.The Airbus A320 was immediately diverted to Los Angeles International airport, but was forced to circle for three hours to burn off fuel that could have exploded during an emergency landing. Heres the video

On the Airbus 320,the wings are constructed in Britain and the engines are also manufactured by Rolls Royce; all the rest is of European make. What do you expect then, when the front undercarriage bends like a paperclip? It is, as usual, typical Euro Rubbish.

just what i needed to see just before i get on a plane for the first time in a few weeks lmao :eek:

i wonder what was harder for the pilot to control , his plane or his bowel :)
 
watched it live last night,it certainly had me sweating,the landing was incredible,thought it was going to burst into flames,well done the pilot.luckily the fire that started went out,but it was just like a normal landing.

I think this comes from a Manx cat, don't you? I can't see where the tail was. I think these are made in China....I wonder if Wingy could bring me a pair back with him?
 
What a cracking landing. Congratulations to the pilot who managed to keep that aircraft absolutely straight. I wish we had had him landing us at Manchester from Greece this year instead of Captain Kangaroo.....:D

Eh? Surely there is nothing better than a near miss or a good bouncy landing to add to the excitement of your holiday....

It was horrendous Tealeaf. There were skidmarks everywhere, and I'm not talking about on the runway...:D
 
what's funny is that JetBlue flights have sattelite TV on every seat, so the people on board could watch their own landing on the news while landing. :D

The few seconds delay would have been interesting.
