Put It On Cnn Now!

[scottsins]

there's a plane with malfunctioning lading gear circling LAX. They've got a split shot of the plane in the air, along with a shot of the runway where they'll attempt to land.

I honestly think CNN will show this plane crash live. Sucks for any of the passengers' family.

 

[tobby4]

I am watchin...

 

[Wasch_24]

Yeah, it's all over the place...Cliif told me to tune to MSNBC earlier. Watching it now.

 

[tobby4]

Thats crazy.... yea and knowing CNN they most likely will try and show it

 

[Wasch_24]

MSNBC just had a pilot on that has landed a similar plane with the same situation. He sad the gear held up and nothing really hapened. :dunno:

Where can I find this online? anywhere? I'm still at work and don't have access to a tv

 

[tobby4]

yea they are saying that there will be some sparks but that is about it.... and the plane has access to CNN via satellites, hopefully they arent being allowed to watch it.....

 

[tobby4]

there is some coverage on CNN.com but it is not the major story it is under the more headlines on the right...

Live Video Craig.... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8004316/

 

[tobby4]

eh yea i dont have windows media player so i couldnt see that......

 

[tobby4]

and yea they are showing whatever is about to happen

 

[Wasch_24]

That is some tough gear!

Absolutely amazing!

Ecellent job by the pilots and the manufacturer of the equipment!

 

[tobby4]

hell yea it is!!!

 

[cvm4]

A damn good job! I was almost sure the front landing gear would break!

 

[Kurtdesign1]

DAMN! Serves me right for getting back to work! I missed it. Oh, well; I'll catch the replays

 

[Wasch_24]

I know, I thought it would just snap.

 

[Kurtdesign1]

WOW!!!!!!! Whoever designed that brace to support the landing gear deserves so much. they just saved the lives of plenty of people. How much is each life worth?? Whatever that number is, that person deserves it.

Anyone remember what happened in Sioux City, IA 20 years ago? I imagined that something like that would happen here.

 

[derek]

Sioux City, wasn't that the one that cart wheeled down the run way?

Yes the girlfriend and I were on the edge of our seats hoping for the best on that landing. I was a little upset at the fact they might show it crash live. Then thought how could I be watcing this knowing that may happen.

Any one catch the part about the twister on the ground in Minneapolis?

I would fly with that pilot any day! What a perfect job he did!

Right! Perfect example of a well-trained professional at work. The sad part is that as a society we expected (dare I say hoped) the plane to crash in a fiery ball. It's the sensationalized day we live in. :barf:
