    757 Landed on Taxiway last night at EWR

    Havn't seen anything on the news but a 757 last night was circling to rwy 29 and landed on the parrellel taxiway zulu. No damage or injuries, was a near perfect landing I heard. Pilots didn't realize til touchdown.

    OUCH!!! Someones going to the cheif pilots office on Monday! I bet they almost crapped themselves when they realized the lights whizzing by on either side of them. Good thing they managed to make a safe stop without the help of other objects

    w00t for NYCA peeps getting the scoop on what is now a national news story two days before the media.

    New York Magazine's blog puts it best: "Work Hard. Fly Right. Land Wrong."

    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
