Right now, a Jet Blue A-320 plane is circling Los Angeles with 150 people on board and damaged landing gear. The front wheels are rotated 90 degrees (perpendicular to the plane). This plane is going to crash. They are burning off fuel, and then they are going to land knowing that the front wheels are going to snap off and the nose will smack down on the runway. Pilots are trained for this; there's an excellent chance everyone will walk away just fine, but can you imagine being on that plane just waiting to see what happens?
