This is great footage from the landing of a Jet-Airplane by JET BLUE
with Landing-Gear Problems. The Landing-Gear is positioned sideways. It
is amazing to me what this tires and axles can withstand without
falling apart and the pilot is doing a great job too :

Good, calm action by the flight crew made it almost a non-event.
Unfortunately, video coverage and the fact that it was in LA meant that
all the talking heads on the networks spent hours gleefully forecasting
fireballs and massive explosions and other forms of doom. Doesn't do
anything to promote aviation safety or public good will towards aviation
in general when you do that.
