This is the flight many of us travel to Vegas on.

Fingers crossed all ends well.

Not interested unless it floats on the sea, sorry

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

It left Gatwick 4 hours ago, circled above Devon, returned to Gatwick, & has been holding above Gatwick at 1,200 feet for some time now.

"Police are about to shut the M23, there are over 20 Ambulances. This is it; #VS43 is to complete an emergency landing at London Gatwick."

Wow, now this is an exciting news story!  Not great if you're on the plane though watching all the news stories.

They seem to be saying it will be a comfortable, if not unusual landing, for the passengers.  The 'experts' seem fairly relaxed about it all.

Plane landed now - unusual restraint from news channels in that there was a live feed from the airport but they clearly decided not to show the plane until it had landed in case of a crash.

I would definitely be absolutely fine if on an aircraft there were such an announcement. Absolutely fine. Not a jibbering wreck in the slightest. No siree.

Anyone know any good deals with transatlantic ferries?

They've shown the landing now, and I'm sure I've been on a plane that have done worse landings.  Very nice job.
