I am currently at work down the street from where it took off. Not a good thing. I hope all goes well and noone gets hurt.

They landed! There was a little fire from the wheel that was wrong but it was pretty much out by the time they stopped. They're all safe!

ya, that was one of the better case scenarios. worst would be the wheel holder could break and the plane would nose dive, a little fire on the wheel aint bad

Watched it live. I was on pins and needles. Must give a ton of credit to the pilots for a wonderful landing despite the circumstances. I think it went as well as it could have, considering the situation they were in. I felt bad for the passengers. Being stuck in the air for 3 hours knowing that something was wrong, and freaking out the entire time! No thanks. I know I would have been a mess, but I really do not like flying in the first place. Glad everyone was ok

That was one of the craziest things I have ever seen. Excellent work by the pilot, and despite the mechanical failure by the airplane, it performed VERY well structurally in the crash landing.

Not to mention JetBlue, with Direct TV service. Though I'd love to watch the outside of my plane from the inside.

I was scared... holding my breath... and hoping for the best, and even got to the point of covering my eyes... when I saw the flame from the wheel, I thought it was going to explode!!! the only reason that I was scared was because one of my FRIENDS I know online was coming back from visiting his aunt and he was ON that flight! Scar-ee
