LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- A Jet Blue airliner was dumping fuel over the ocean Wednesday afternoon as officials tried to determine how to make an emergency landing with the plane's front wheels turned sideways and unable to retract.
The plane left Burbank Airport after 3 p.m. for New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, according to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Donn Walker.
Jet Blue flight 292 was circling the Long Beach Airport, about 30 miles south of Burbank. Walker said the Airbus A320 was dumping fuel over the Pacific.
No other details were immediately available. Forest Hills, N.Y.-based Jet Blue could not be reached for comment.
