15 Hurt During JetBlue Plane Landing In Sacramento

2 Tires Blew Out During Landing

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The tires of a JetBlue airplane caught fire Thursday during a hard landing in Sacramento that left 15 people with minor injuries and sent passengers down emergency slides to escape the aircraft. Passenger Michelle McDuffie said people onboard felt a thud when the plane touched down after a flight from Long Beach, but nobody thought there was an emergency until the crew shouted for everyone to exit on the inflatable slides. McDuffie saw the burning tires when she was on the ground. "I thought, Oh I wish I had gotten my bag off. But I was just happy that I wasn't hurt," said McDuffie, 33, of Mission Viejo.

So was it the hard landing that cause the tires to esplode, or the brakes, or what?

So if ol' Steve Slater had waited just a couple weeks he may have had his chance to check out the slides without losing his job after all!

The plane appeared to experience trouble with its brakes, the airline said in a statement.

I normally try to not look at the comments in articles -- because it makes my head throb -- but I forgot and read them on this one. Check out "SanDiegoSteve"'s comments... and the entertaining corrections of the guy above him. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/...e_5xXu1dqBWMbjeWN6hAZRPI?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME=

LOL Pilot initiated go-arounds are the only one's they DON'T investigate.

Because when there's a fire on a plane, or anywhere that that matter, the first thing you'll want to do is clog up the aisles and the slide so you can save $50 worth of clothes...

Wow the comments on that article are absolutely hilarious. I love how the sandiegosteve guy post that outrageously dumb comment, then the other person just completely destroys him for making such a dumb comment.

I really think I could spend 1 month collaborating comments off of news websites into one big comedy journal, then get them published and it would be a best seller.

But...the real question is did they grab beer on the way out?
:beer:

Clothes? I'm sure it was last month's Redbook and a half-eaten sandwich. Shoot, I'd go back just for the latter. You know how much she probably had to pay for that in JFK?

I think I've heard that about a billion times today. Just as I thought the Steven Slater jokes were gonna stop...

Is it me or does the Airbus, or maybe jet blue seem to have gear issues quite often.

"The captain took control of the airplane. He maintained directional control, and the airplane came to a stop about 2,000 feet from the touchdown point."

Woah! STOLbus!

Bummer. What are the employment consequences for inadvertently setting the parking brake during approach?

What an idiot. I can't believe the general public sometimes.

I wonder how it got set. Knowing Airbus the computer probably set it
