Hear, hear. A first class example of the old maxim "any landing you walk away from is a good one".

Or, any crash you walk away from is a landing...

Emergency landing for jet

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...e=reuters&ct=5

A JetBlue airliner with 146 passengers on board and crippled landing gear made a successful emergency landing today at Los Angeles Airport after circling the California coast for three hours to burn off fuel.

JetBlue, which began flying out of the Burbank airport in May, equips its planes with DirecTV screens built into the backs of seats in front of each passenger, leaving open the possibility that travellers were able to follow their own predicament via updates airing on news channels.

Parrish said it was not clear if the screens were on during the flight.

Hmmmm, not sure that would be particularly pleasant to view. However, I often wondered what advantage an external camera would be for an aircraft. You get concave mirrors on the side of engines on a twin so you can see visually if the nosegear (and main gear) is down and locked, even if the three gear lights show green.
