Holy shtein.  I hope they are explaining what's about to happen to everyone on board in a calm, clear way.  This is crazy.

 They're saying they should still have a relatively safe landing. There's a shteinload of fog around LAX.

They have perfect weather.  The rear wheels are fine.  They've burned off tons of feul, and it's not a ginormous plane.  Emergency services have had tons of time to respond and the pilots have had lots of time to prepare themselves. 

It'll be good footage for the morning news, everyone will be fine.

Safe landing?

They landed...safe.

Nose gear didn't even break...just a bunch of fire from the rubber burning

Pretty funny since the stupid ass on CNN said yesterday, after she supposedly talked to someone on board, that they were NOT watching anythign because the TVs were all put "away" as they were in landing mode pretty much that whole time.

Glad everyone is okay.  But I was watching Lost at the time, and I had to laugh when a JetBlue commercial came on immediately after the landing.

That would have been great if everyone started beating it because they thought they were going to die and then all of a sudden they are alive and well.  Good times.
