Looks like ABC news fell for it too.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.


All these news guys and not checking their sources, how 21st century!

Most, if not all, of those pictures are from a different, though very

Not to worry. Apparently a lot of people were had by those photos.

After a bit of research, the winter pics are apparently from a Jet Blue
flight from Buffalo to JFK on Nov 1, 2002. On Feb 16, 1999, an
America West A320 did the same thing at Columbus, Ohio. There's been
about seven similar Airbus landing gear incidents.

Seven? I would think that would rate a sim training program being written
for the A320 that would address this exact scenario ...give or take icy
conditions.

And the FAA's reaction to seven similar incidents? This is kind of what they
do.

You could take the CBS News tack and say they're forged, but accurate...
