Re: Accident at LAX avoided

Just saw it. That was awesome. The pilot did exactly what he should have. Give that man a raise!

Re: Accident at LAX avoided

Here is a follow-up story and all I can say is

"What were the employees on the plane thinking? Turn off the damn TV's"

there's the story. basically the planes landing gear was wack and it was perpendicular to the plane. the plane had enough fuel for a cross country trip so it couldn't land quickly enough because of all the fuel. it flew around for 3 hours wasting fuel then was able to land safely.

it was really impressive, i want to fly with that pilot from now on

If the crash would've destroyed the airport, they'd have to rename it....

Re: Accident at LAX avoided

Don't they have a fuel dump system? Either Airbus or jetBlue are going to be affected by this.
