Remember the Jet Blue landing on Live T.V.??? Did you wonder what...

[Up2Late]

...was going on INSIDE the Jet? Well, here's you chance. Chicago Public Radio's show "This American Life" show this week has interviews with some of the passengers, including the Audio (from the video) that one of the passengers took during the 3 hours of circling and the Emergency landing, It's really quite emotional stuff. And Yes, they did hear the CNN or MSNBC Commentator say, "I don't think they would be watching this on T.V."

Streaming Audio links to some local stations that are playing the show right now are at the link below. Depending on where you are, the links are either at the top of this page or at the bottom. It will also play at WCAI, KCLU, and KTOO at 1:00am EDT tonight, or you can catch it at several other stations tomorrow or at the Chicago Public Radio TAL archive, I think tomorrow.

Plus, they talk to some of the Hurricane Katrina Survivors in the other part of the show. Some have some choice words for FEMA.

Back From the Dead

In the towns Waveland and Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, the schools are closed, most families have fled, and the town itself has been almost entirely wiped out by Hurricane Katrina. Now residents are asking themselves: how do you bring a whole town back to life? Their answer was a particularly American one: a high school football game in donated uniforms, with National Guardsmen (pictured) filling in as sideline officials, played to the drumbeat of just a single member of their marching band. This, and other stories about coming back to life, when all is lost. Broadcast the weekend of October 7-9 in most places, or available here via RealAudio the following week.

1. My husband was flying Jet Blue, in another plane, as this was going on.

Naturally, the entire plane watched the drama unfold, and cheered madly when the landing came off so beautifully.

Thanks for the links, I'll listen. This American Life is one of the best things on the radio.
