  • I love the professionalism of the pilot's radio conversation over what to do.
  • @frankyjas5184
    His callouts back to the traffic controller was really impressive. Great job by a great pilot.
  • @Hongaars1969
    Respect for both flight crews. Seemingly level headed and calm approach that saved the day
  • @blrenx
    Fun Fact.. well at least for me.. My Grandfather was the engineer that created the Hydraulic landing gear for aircraft.. His name is William Ryan, He is in the San Diego engineering history museum. He was also a part of engineering the Spirit of St louis.. Me on the other hand can't change my own oil...
  • i rember this i was in a bar with other people and this was on tv every body stop what they were doing and watch this unfold and we all cheer when the pilot brought the in for a safe landing

    It's 2024 (well when this comment was created) and it still baffles me that every car has a backup camera yet large aircraft don't have cameras showing engines, wingtips, landing gear, empennage and other exterior parts of the aircraft. I mean how hard would that be?

    I’m glad it was re-uploaded. I’ve seen the 2 minute clip numerous times but this is a first time for me to see this version. The whole thing 👍👍
  • @Windy__Future
    Is there anyway that you could please, please, please stop showing the finale of the video in the first five seconds…? It would be far more enjoyable to not see the ending first…
  • It's surprising that the QRH didn't suggest the breaker. Great job to the flight crew on both flights.

    From Wiki: Because JetBlue planes are equipped with DirecTV satellite television, passengers on Flight 292 were able to watch live news coverage of their flight while the plane circled over the Pacific for hours. The in-flight video system was turned off "well before landing." Actress Taryn Manning was on the flight on her way to New York to promote the film Hustle & Flow. Screenwriter Zach Dean was also on the plane and, while contemplating his mortality, resolved to write a script about mortality, which eventually became the film Deadfall.

    With an experienced crew, maintained aircraft, and capable procedures, situations such as this are survivable. Kudos to all.
  • Jetblue is one of the safest airlines. Even if i was in that crippled plane, i would happily fly with them again.
  • @sterntaler64
    Amazing how calm and mindful the pilot was... great job (on both flights)🙂👍 🙏

    I would’ve thought you’d have shown this before.
  • My Son just bought me airbuds and I'm still amazed at the sound quality; what I didn't expect to hear was an airplane flying over my apartment building while watching this. I don't know how low it was, but I had my arm behind my head and it was resting on the wall and I could feel the vibration from the plane. I guess these aren't noise cancelling earbuds and I wasn't expecting to hear things outside, right now I'm hearing the traffic outside which I don't normally hear and birds chirping. I was actually holding my breath when the 2nd plane was about to land. I'm glad there were no fatalities. Cheers from the Niagara Region 🇨🇦
  • @nenblom
    It’s like to do this every day. Unbelievable! Incredible job!
  • I watched the landing of the Sky Blue live from a news chopper. It was a beautiful landing.

    Ah Burbank airport. I'm reminded of Southwest Flight 1455 that, in March 2000, landed with excessive speed, overran the runway, crashed through the perimeter fence, crossed a busy thoroughfare, and came to a stop just feet from a gas station pumps. The airport wisely decided to install Engineered Materials Arrestor System at the end of the runway after that little incident.
