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 says that A320s are designed so that they cannot dump fuel,
thus this loaded plane must fly around for a while to burn off some.

Anyone know why the A320 is designed that way?

Good luck to the crew, btw. Watching it on TV, watching arrivals on
Airport Monitor, and listening via Live ATC. What a world!
