Might have been a gear up landing and not a collapse, actually. Either way, doesn't look too serious. LGA is closed for now.

Wolf Blitzer is on it. We'll have a definitive, conclusive and technical analysis from him shortly.

I guess they found that mythical taxi speed load max on the nose gear.

Uh, yeah, Im not even gonna turn the TV on. We all know those SWA pilots are hot shots so we can draw our own conclusion.

hadn't seen that one. Saw the PSA. Wish they did them on 737's....

In the photo it looks like the -200 engines (just too high)...

Maybe just wishing there was still a few around..
