3. Bush will give the medal to the guy who installed the landing gear.

:crazy:

[slor]

7. LOL!

[deadparrot]

8. I had the same kind of thought.

:)

Glad to hear everything worked out okay. It's too often that things like this end in tragedy.

[MindPilot]

23. No, Bush will give the medal to CEO who told the manager to fire

the guy who would've fixed the gear if his job hadn't been outsourced.

[tk2kewl]

25. good point

4. what a beautiful landing!!!!!

my Dad is a pilot and he caleed me while it was going on, he kept telling me "Honey he will soft land that plane and the only thing you'll see thats different is some burning rubber.

[qanda]

10. Seemed softer than some of the landings I've had on "regular" flights

Good job Mr. Pilot!

[AlCzervik]

11. no kidding!!! All landings should be that smooth.

[caligirl]

15. yeah, my hubby was a pilot, he said the turned tire just made

it more exciting. Great job if they walk away. They did. Give the guy a scotch and the night off.

5. Wow. That was amazing.

[Botany]

14. That pilot is now a DU hero for life!

BTW Crispi, if they asked you to brace yourself and you were on that
plane you wouldn't break out the cuffs would you?

:rofl:

[crispini]

18. Hey, it's a restraint device right?

:evilgrin:

[Clark2008]

20. Well, well, well.

Botany and Crispini out of KOEB.

:hi: you guys!

[crispini]

21. Howdy!

Fancy running into you here! :P

I am finding it kind of funny that the NBC people were watching MSNBC for part of the flight. Very self-referential.

[RevCheesehead]

26. ROFLOL!

:rofl: you guys slay me!

[longship]

13. What he probably wants is a double shot.

(He picked a bad week to quit drinking.)

Great landing... textbook.

[shraby]

16. All those people on the planes had t.v. at

their seats and were able to watch the whole thing. Big kudos to the pilot!

[Clark2008]

24. They just said they had the TVs turned off

Did you hear something different?

[latebloomer]

17. Anybody catch his name?

My cousin's husband is a Jet Blue pilot!

[Clark2008]

19. Perfection.

I'm going to request to be on any flight he's piloting!!

[Rainscents]
