This IS the spectators balcony forum.

The jetblue incident was big news for just a little while. Much like the OJ car chase, it was live on TV, and they did a very nice job making an uneventful touchdown. Still they caught internet critics complaining that they didn't quite maintain the runway center line.

Correct. The airplane flew around live for a couple of hours, live on TV while the media made a circus out of it, then it made an uneventful, successful landing.
