    Broken Delta CRJ Gets Towed at JFK

    The spotting gods were smiling upon me early Sunday morning when I happened to be in the right place at the right time (Terminal 5, 6:30am) to shoot this...

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    And to think they rested of the nose of the plane on that cop car for towing! AMAZING! haha

    Great shot man. You really stepped in it. Nice background, too.

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Good one Matt. Did they get the gear down or is it propped up on blocks?

    no you did not, your shot is about the size of a thumbnail and Matt posted a
    sweet sky in the backround with lots of detail. I had seen yours and thought
    it was interesting and then I had seen Matt's shot and was jealous! His was
    not a thumbnail and that is the only reason I think it was not on the front page
    ....but Matt, that sky was SWEEET!
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Front gear is down. It was actually moving (very, very slowly) with a huge convoy of cranes, Port vehicles and other flatbeds following it when this shot was taken.

    And yes, there's a guy sitting on the end of the flatbed and another one walking right behind it. If the chains were to fail, those guys would get smushed.

    Thanks for the love, guys.
