no TV in the area, someone keep this up to date with what happened...and someone hopefully is rolling tape.

The nose gear bogie is clearly tilted 90 degrees in the side views of the aircraft now showing on MSNBC, anybody know which runway at LAX he's coming into? Scheduled landing=8:25 EST
now flying left-hand circuits
Godspeed and good luck

The plane is N536JB. Josh, Art, Ron and Mike McLaughlin all have photos of this plane.
I think they'll be ok. We've seen these type of nosegear incidents in the past and I don't recall any serious injuries coming from them.

Just a heck of a lot of smoke from burning rubber is what I'd expect. This isn't something to be taken lightly, though.... Crossing my fingers it turns out alright.

CNN has been saying they have never had a twsited nose gear problem. its always been a gear wont come out, or partially halfway out, and its normally been the main landing gear. but never the front nose being twsited.Quote:

This is a pretty odd situation. I think they'd be better off with no front landing gear at all. I think the sideways gear can break off and get sucked into the engines or cause the plane to veer off the runway. Also...the flight took off less than 2 1/2 hours ago for a 6 hour flight. There is still going to be a good amount of fuel left if they do this now.
Having their broken plane plastered on every TV screen for a couple hours and announcing a loss for the quarter today = not such a good day for jetBlue.

MSNBC reporting that America West had an identical problem with an Airbus in 1999 which resulted in no injuries.

Great job by the pilots. Amazing that the gear didn't collapse and they stayed straight the whole way down.

I agree - an amazing job by that cockpit crew - and - the skipper even kept it on the center line!!! AMAZING!! HUGE kudos to that crew!!
EDIT: I think I could see the a/c no as 536

Yeah, great job. That plane was going pretty damn slow with the nose still in the air.
Glad to see a happy ending. :)

It was awesome to watch the nose stay in the air so long as the plane went down the runway. It was amazing to watch those front tires literally disintegrate.
I heard on the live feed that the plane went 95% of the way down 25L before stopping. Wow....that's a LONG way down the runway.
Congrats to the captain for a job well done.

Fascinating that they didn't use the reversers, as to avoid shifting the CoG to the front gear.

Great job by the crew, glad everything worked out okay.
Now Jet Blue has to figure out how to repair that puppy at a non-JetBlue station.

The crew did a wonderful job on the landing, they sure saved the day.
I doubt Jet Blue will be repairing it them selves, they will most likely hire Unite Techops, Air Canada or Airbus Field team to do the repair. I wonder how long is the runway going to be out of service for?
