Oh no.....

I had a good cry today over the story of the man rescued in New Orleans. He had stayed in the house with his wife that died 5 days ago and was apparently just waiting for someone to come and help.

Nat, sad stories abound. I'm out of tears, just mostly numb.

Yeah, landing gear problems.. Man, what's next? They have to get rid of some of the fuel to get lighter to be able to land.. that's downright scarey..

Darius, I saw the landing - beautiful! Felt just as good as seeing Discovery land. Hats off to the pilots who just "do their job and land the plane"!

I want that pilot for my upcoming trip.
Had not heard that tragic story about the man in New Orleans. I hope that he gets all the help he needs.

Daughter flys International as a flight attendant and was friends with a member of the flight crew on that Jet Blue plane. The flight crew says they could only hope for smoother landing with good Feet!!! Pilot has more than one set of wings!

Turns out that was the seventh such landing. Airbus has a problem with the front wheel mechanism on that model of Airbus.

The pilot is from Raleigh, unboubtly he is being stalked by reporters now. He said he wants a quite life as he just was doing his job and ask his neighbors not to talk to the press.
He works a lot and still has time to keep his yard beautiful.LOL
