I just now heard about this. What's it about?
A jet blue airline had a plane take off from LAX in route cross country to JKF. When they took off the nose gear broke and got stuck in a 90 degree right-hand turn postion.
The plane had to land with the nose gear trying to turn the plane to the right and the pilot managed to hold the plane on the runway.
The tires smoked until they blew out and then the bare rims and what looks to be quite a bit of the strut were ground down to nothing on the runway as the plane slowed down, creating a spectacular light show.
