There is a video on the Maho beach cam, which cuts off, right at the crucial point! It seems like they are saying they aborted the takeoff more than once?

Seems like that this was a flight that was scheduled to go out at 10:00 AM but has a problem with the front wheels. Think they have tried about 3 times to take off. Sure wouldn't want to be a passenger on that flight.

Yes, that's what I thought it looked like, that they had tried more than once to take off, unsuccessfully. That would have made me EXTREMELY nervous. Weird, though, it claims the destination was FLL, and as far as I know, Jet Blue doesn't fly nonstop from SXM to FLL...
Possibly getting ready to try again? There is a JB on the runway.

Oh, OK. That actually makes sense that they might be going to FLL, if they are dead heading it back somewhere.. I hope the plane is empty..
If you follow the side of the screen toward the bottom, it says they have been having problems for a couple of days.

I'm not sure where or how I knew this but I, too, was under the impression there were no passengers on the plane and they were testing it the one time I saw it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
