Talk about scary TV
I don’t even like watching TV during the day at home because all of the news scares me (really it just makes me sad). But, imagine watching the news and your on it. Live.
Evidently, yesterday, a JetBlue flight leaving L.A. had front wheel problems that were identified immediately after takeoff. This problem forced an emergency landing with the front wheels locked sideways. After several hours circling the airport to burn off fuel to make for a safer landing, the plane was landed safely even though the front wheels burst into flames when they made contact with the ground. Pretty scary stuff for the people on board. But, here’s the kicker. JetBlue has live DirectTV for the passengers in the plane. So, all of the people on board the plane were watching live news coverage of their own plane about to crash land. Pretty horrific.
Take a look at the CNN coverage.
