Steve's Video Of The Day: JetBlue Flight 292

JetBlue Flight 292, an Airbus A320, was safely landed the other day with a damaged, transverse nose-gear. The pilots did an outstanding job of keeping the aircraft straight, and stopping it. Also, the passengers onboard watched their own aircraft land on the news media, as the aircraft was equipped with built-in television screens! Unbelievable! If you didn't see it, here it is!
