oh boy.. southwest goes thru the gates AGAIN!

I like southwest.. been a nice airline to me. I fly SWA!

Anyway its hard landing in the snow and iced up runways.. tehy should have not even attempted to fly in those conditions.

 

[PHiuR]

shoulda turned up the jets to melt the ice off the runway:evil:

that "oops?" in the sub topic made me laugh really hard.

hahahahaha

wow....that could make for an interesting insurance claim.

 

[Mermaidman]

Knowing you guys, I wait for the inevitable "Was it a woman pilot?"

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

Was it a woman pilot?

After this and the Airmarshal incident, I am a little concerned.

I have to spend about 11 hours on a plane today 🙂

After seeing some footage of Chicago, I'm amazing they let the plane land. There's so much snow coming down.

Unfortunately you are right

"A Southwest Airlines jet skidded off a runway in a heavy snowstorm at Chicago's Midway Airport Thursday night, sliding into an intersection and killing a young boy in a car. Another car was also hit by the Boeing 737 and eight other vehicle passengers were in serious condition"

Plus Midway is a terrible place to land on a normal day. Look at most airports that have fields at the end of the runway. Midway has a 20 foot wall and buildings surrounding it. No margin for error.

Yup none at all.... Buildings, Big Wall, Runway, Big Wall, Buildings. And its not exactly a long runway at that either, only certain planes can land at Midway, larger ones can not.
