Default A320 with gear problem over LA

As I write this at 4:50 pm pacific time, there is a Jet
Blue A320 circling with a nose gear problem. It's rotated
90 degrees.

The news is carrying live video of the plane, but details
aren't fixed. It may be landing at Long Beach or LAX. It
was bound for JFK from Burbank so it has several hours of
fuel on board. There's talk about dumping fuel or burning
it off, but again the reports aren't clear.

Jet Blue flight 292.

Oh, and the talking heads are really a laugh. "So I take it
the nose gear on all big jets can turn?" duh....how do you
think they steer?
