The wheel castings were reduced like "cheese over a cheese grater"!

I cannot believe the nose-gear didn't collapse!

The nose-gear strut held, but shows discolouration.

I believe there must now be a fine "streak" of aluminum down the runway where JetBlue 292 landed.

I have never been a big fan of Airbuses, preferring Boeings, but it is nice to see that the Airbus has some strength built into it. Anyway, the pilots did a fine job, and nobody was killed or injured. Till next time,
"Adios!"
