If you wanna see a potential plane accident, turn on MSNBC now....

[007]

JetBlue is burning fuel and landing gear is backwards...LAX

[Glovey]

Or CNN.

Holy shit! I know some guys that work for JetBlue. Hope none of them are flying or on board that plane.

And they're screwed if it's the nose gear too. They're burning off fuel so the plane won't explode when it crashes.

[Glovey]

Has JetBlue had a major accident before?

[Lippa]

They're saying on CNN that it's really not that big of a deal.

[007]

Ah, every seat has a teevee and can get MSNBC....good times

The nose gear not being operative is a big deal. They can come in and touch down on the back wheels but the plane will not balance like that. At some point, the nose of the aircraft will have to hit the ground. When that happens the full weight of the plane will be pushing towards the nose. If it does not come down at a good angle, the plane could flip end over end. Best case is that the plane hits and skids down the runway and does not rip apart on impact.

It has to be nerve-racking to fly around burning off fuel just waiting to crash.
