September 21, 200521 yr On Fox News right now. The plane was supposed to land in Long Beach, CA but will probably land in LAX now. It's dumping feul in preperation for a crash landing.
September 22, 200521 yr Hoping for the best. I wonder how much the people on board know and how they are reacting. It must be horrifying.
September 22, 200521 yr On Jetblue, they have Directv, so it gets the news channels. I cant imagine what it must be like if they can watch this happening.
September 22, 200521 yr According to CNN, the plane's now trying to land at Long Beach. It's having trouble making an emergency landing.
September 22, 200521 yr Well, they have 110 firefighters waiting at lax, so I would assume its going to try to land there. I heard they had tried to land at Long Beach earlier. They decided to use LAX because it has longer runways.
September 22, 200521 yr I hope it lands safely. I am tired of bad news all the time. It's why I don't normally watch the news but I decided to turn this on. I'm tired of people dying.

September 22, 200521 yr Just landed, at a complete stop. Hopefully everyone's OK on there. Wow, that wheel is totalled.
September 22, 200521 yr Author That's why pilots spend hundreds of hours in simulators going through everything that can go wrong. Perfect execution.

September 22, 200521 yr I can't imagine how scared I would have been if I was on it. I had a bad enough time with a regular emergency landing
September 23, 200521 yr My guy DJ Qualls from the New Guy was on that flight. I was in night school following the headlines on my phone and I followed this on CNN on my phone. Incredible!
