Very glad that everyone on board and on the ground seems to be okay.
But, good lord. CNN, that bastion of reporting integrity, is stressing, based off a single, very far away still photo, that the rear landing gear failed or broke off. Followed by commentary about cancelled flights and a tone hinting at why wasn't this flight cancelled, too? Glad all are OK. ^ |

Post #28 has the ATC audio in it.
It's a bit odd, but it seems like 1086 went on the wrong frequency or something, because the tower is calling them and then 30 seconds later the ground crews are saying the airport is closed. |

It looks like Delta won't be able to deliver the bags in 20 minutes, so these folks stand to get 2500 miles each.

Authorities reporting that LGA to reopen at about 2:00 PM using the other runway (22).

Delta considers the flight complete. Shouldn't it be at the gate to be complete?

What remains to be seen... can CNN stretch this out into 3 weeks of 24x7 coverage? :rolleyes:
Glad everyone is OK. |
You beat me to that posting.
Per FlightStats, at 1214 DL changed the gate arrival to 1114 |

Outbound flights only, inbound still cancelled. |

http://i62.tinypic.com/103c1sm.png :D Relieved to see everyone is safe. Any idea what this, and all the other weather in the NE, is doing to DL's ops in the rest of the country today? |
I'm also surprised that there were no pictures of passengers evacuating with bare feet because we all know how many people love to put their bare feet up on the bulkhead/seat/armrest/headrest/overhead bin. :D
But joking aside, I'm glad everyone was safe and those pilots must have been really calm. They didn't evac on the left side with the fuel spill so they must have been able to assess the situation quickly and accurately. I can't imagine how terrifying it must have been for them thinking they might be going into the bay. |
This reminds me of something I've heard from many a pilot. When you fly: Wear close-toe shoes, and keep them on until five minutes after landing and from final approach through touchdown. If you're asked to evacuate, you'll be glad you did.

You win. All other humor posts after this one are futile.
^ They'll say this was weather related and won't pay out the 2,500 miles. :D |
