A JetBlue airliner with faulty landing gear was headed for an emergency landing Wednesday at Los Angeles International Airport after its front wheels were turned sideways and unable to retract into the plane following takeoff from a nearby airport. The plane carrying 139 passengers left Bob Hope Airport in Burbank at 3:17 p.m. for New York's JFK airport, said JetBlue spokesman Bryan Baldwin. JetBlue flight 292 first circled the Long Beach Airport, about 30 miles south of Burbank, and then was cleared to land at Los Angeles International Airport. The Airbus A320 stayed in flight to burn off fuel before landing, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Donn Walker. People were gathered on buildings near the 405 Freeway watching the situation unfold. Earlier at Long Beach Airport, six ambulances lined a runway, along with a handful of police cars and two fire engines. Planes continued to take off and land while the emergency vehicles remained parked at the runway's edge with their lights flashing. TV images showed the nose wheel turned perpendicular. Its back landing gear was also down but appeared to be in the correct position. "After leaving Burbank, pilots reported a landing gear indication light on, meaning there may be a problem or issue with the landing gear," Baldwin said. The crew then decided to return to an airport to attempt to land, he said. The pilots were "able to determine the problem with assistance from air traffic control." Walker said dumping fuel would help the plane land. "They can't be that heavy," Walker said. Elliot Brann, the National Air Traffic Controllers safety representative for the LAX control tower, said pilots have landed and keep the nose gear up until the plane is at a very slow speed before easing it down, minimizing danger to passenger and damage to plane. | |

That landing was scary but the way that pilot landed the plane was nothing short of amazing. Just proved to me why JetBlue is such an excellent airline. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

OH MY GOD! I watched it live yesterday. It was sooooo bizarre. There I was watching every second of the landing not knowing what was going to happen. I a way I feel safer flying since the pilot did such a great job in landing.

Crazy thing is the passengers were able to watch news reports on tvs on the plane right up until they began landing. | |
