We here at Gawker cover New York City, and we cover media. So you'd think we'd have nothing to say about a story in today's Times recounting the tale of a JetBlue flight that took off from the Burbank airport, in Los Angeles, discovered a problem with its landing gear, circled for several hours, and then quasi-crash landed at LAX. But you'd be wrong. Because, naturally, there's a New York media angle to the story, buried at the end:

A passenger on the JetBlue flight, Alexandra Jacobs, said the most difficult part was knowing that her husband and parents might be watching the drama on live television, as she was. She is six months pregnant. "My first thought was for my husband," who met her at the airport in Los Angeles, she said. "I was thinking, 'You're going to lose your baby and me.'"

Ms. Jacobs, an editor for The New York Observer who lives in Los Angeles because her husband is a television writer, described the landing as "an out-of-body experience."

Join us tomorrow when we attempt to find a New York media angle to the weekend's train derailment in Chicago.
