JetBlue passengers watch their own emergency landing
With live seatback TV, Passengers on a JetBLue flight were able to watch on television their own emergency landing in Los Angeles.
Major television networks spent two hours or more broadcasting coverage of flight 292 as it repeatedly circled Los Angeles with a crippled nose gear.
The drama began when pilots realized the plane’s front wheels had not retracted on takeoff.
The plane circled the airport to burn fuel.
Sparks flew and tires burst as the Airbus A320 landed, but none of the 146 passengers were injured.
“A the end, it was the worst because you didn’t know if it was going to work, if we would catch fire. It was very scary. Grown men were crying,” passenger Diane Hamilton told The New York Daily News.
The airplane had been en route from Burbank to New York.
JetBlue said it was working with the Federal Aviation Authority to investigate the problem.
There was a similar incident involving an Airbus A320 in 1999.
