Jet Blue Flight 292 landed safely today at LAX after the plane's front wheel became locked sideways. The plane left Burbank at 3:17, and immediately after the problem was discovered, initiated emergency procedures. The plane circled for hours to burn off excess fuel in preparation for the emergency landing. The plane finally touched down at LAX with the wheel sideways. While the tires where destroyed the strut remained intact, keeping the plane upright. Passengers are currently disembarking the plane via stairs, evacuation by slide was not deemed necessary in this case, because the plane was intact and not in immediate danger. The cause of the malfunction is yet to be determined. Source:
