I've used magnesium fire starters before, It is almost impossible to ignite it unless it's in very small pieces like a dust. That is exactly what happens when a wheel rim is ground into the runway, but I guess that probably doesn't happen that often.

What I find diffucult to understand is that the passengers were watching their predicament & possible fate discussed by so-called 'experts' on live TV right up till a few minutes before landing. This was transmitted direct to their monitors via the aircraft's own entertainment system. If that's not liable to cause panic I don't know what is. Roll Eyes

Amazing landing. Much respect to the pilot and crew, and the ground engineers.

Has anyone got a link to a vid of it? I saw it on the news and wonder if I can find it again?

The service manager at my company has a brother that
is a pilot for JetBlue and flies the same route. As the
service manager was watching the news he called his
brother's cell and there was no answer. Then he called
his Mom and he said she sounded shaken up but, that
she had just talk to his brother and he was off but,
was flying the route tomorrow.

Well... yes and no. Seeing what's going on might help reassure some folks (I'd appreciate it!!!)... but now that I think about it, the on-air commentary wouldn't help... they always act terribly concerned, but there's also the air of vultures waiting for something to stop kicking... Tongue

On the bright side: There was full coverage of a malfunction that was dealt with cooly and professionally, with everything turning out OK. That's something to smile about.

I believe they are planning for a landing at KLAX since it has a longer runway.

Just saw this too about 40 minutes ago.. Wink

For those who don't get CNN the nose gear on the jet blue flight 292 is turned 90 degree clockwise.. Wink

Main gear is fine....they were loaded to go to New York from I believe Burbank earlier this afternoon.

For some reason airbus didn't put a fuel dump valve on this particular version of the 320 and they have been forced to circle around to burn it off....

Not true;

They dumped most of their fuel into the ocean. They kept enough fuel to circle around.

Kudos to that pilot, though. Great landing. Stayed on the center line the entire time.

Not True!

As Doug "Flying Trucker" said,
Quote:

That particular model of the Airbus does not require the capability to dump fuel as it can land with an all up fuel load.

and he is a pilot! Wink

And from a illustrated map where the aircraft flew during those 3 hours, I don't think it ever even went over any ocean! Roll Eyes

They just wanted to BURN the fuel, not dumping.
I dont even think the A320 can dump fuel since it's MTOW and MLW arent that far apart, compared to a 747, for example.

The Boeing 737 cant dump fuel aswell.

i think my mom knew the pilots, they used to work for her flying a 767, so an A320 is a little less difficult to fly Tongue

they're used to the monsters. lol
