JetBlue front landing gear is twisted 90 degree's. They are currently flying around burning off fuel because the jet is not designed to drop fuel. The expect landing to happen around 18:00 (15 min or so).

That guy deserves a raise.

I've had flights land harder than that with perfectly fuctioning landing gear.

I saw the landing on TV, while flipping channels. Pretty amazing. Front landing gear was practically melted/disintegrated at the end, and yet it looked pretty smooth.. despite the sparkage and flames from the now "pwnt" landing gear.

I want THAT guy to fly my planes!
