Breaking News: Plane landing at LAX with twisted front wheel (8:45 EST

[AZK]

Anyone else watching this on the news, my parents are obsessing by the tv waiting to see what happens when this thing lands.

[touchfaith]

The news here had a pilot on phone who said that they cannot dump fuel on this type of aircraft, so they are flying around to burn it...

Could be a while till they attempt a landing.

You can watch it live on www.cbs2.com for those of you not in LA.

Yeah, its sickening. I hope they turn the camera's off when they land. This is exactly what will happen...

1. They will foam the runway with something similar to AFFF (google it).

2. They will execute a flared landing to get as slow as possible before the nose gear touches down.

3. The nose wheel will snap.

4. Ideally, the jet will merely skid to a stop.

5. 16 people on the flight will sh.it themselves. 25 more will piss.

6. There will be zero injuries.

Now, that being said, if ONE single thing goes wrong, the jet could become a giant fireball. If that happens, I really hope that all the networks aren't showing it. If they do, I hope my favorite Republican (God) gives them every VD available.

I don't think they foam runways anymore, they are able to stand by on the runway and respond within seconds.

I blame Bush.

If this were the politics forum, I would probably say something like, "yeah, it makes sense that God is a republican, since he does so many shitty things to so many people." But it's not, so I won't.
