A Fox News 90 degree front wheel angle expert says the danger is not major as these pilots are well trained. I was in a C-130 that dumped fuel and landed on a foam laced runway. It's down!!

Wrong. The Fox expert was saying just the opposite. They said that the pilots are trained in situations where the main (rear) landing gear malfunctioned, but he doubted there was any training in regard to the front landing gear being 90 degrees off.

That's a nice ending!

Kosar - what are you doing watching Fox???

lol- I watch Fox during the day, all day, and during 'events' like that. I like their coverage on major stuff like that. In general, I prefer MSNBC's evening line-up, and I watched them some for this plane thing, but I saw the expert on Fox that Dan Murphy Jr. allegedly saw and he twisted it.

Nose wheel, gear, (or whatever is left) was right on the center line...Great job by that air jockey!

My g'friend is 911 dispatcher in Long Beach and was on the initial call. Her office overlooks the Long Beach airport where they originally were going to bring it down.....She said every city official in L.B. was up there to witness the impending landing (crash).....
