Did the pilot hope out, spike his briefcase, and do a victory dance? I would have.

that pilot did such a good job. (even though they train for emergency landings)…I hope he got time and a half for that flight. lol

None of that stuff is really happening. If you don’t research it online and find sites where the media isn’t swayed by advertisements you will never know the true story.

The news completely blew everything out of porportion…  
jetblue doesn’t even have landing gear… they always land on their bellies…  
hurricane rita? Hold on… last week they were calling it katrina… someone messed up.  
tornado? That must be the vacuum cleaner that is being advertised… and they want the advertiser to get their money’s worth.

GEESH… don’t be so swayed by the media super powers… they are so evil.

they will probably use a “doug-tug.” you can lift the entire front of the aircraft off the tarmac with this thing.

check it out, here’s a vid of it in operation. if you like watching heavy machinery in operation, you can dig:  
[http://www.douglas-tugmaster.co.uk/Videos/Towbarless\_ISDN.wmv](http://www.douglas-tugmaster.co.uk/Videos/Towbarless_ISDN.wmv)

it was pretty wild to watch it, but I expected nothing less. you are soooooo much safer on a modern commercial airliner than walking down stairs, it’s crazy.

shiiiit yea, I would have too!

I can’t imagine the atmosphere onboard though, They get LiVE sat. tv on Jetblue… CNN is one of those channels.

Imagine all the people that were prolly glued to their TV display like it was “American Idol”
