She did say she was stuck in a bar.

I like the "eye" witness that heard a boom and 5 minutes later heard sirens while she was bartending

Yikes!

Slight tailwind for 31C, heavy snow possibly ice, very low vis and a short runway.

31C RVR mins is 4000. This is why rent around Skidway is cheap.

I enjoy this "expert" Jim from florida.

The plane should have had no problem landing on that runway.

Landing isn't the issue. Stopping is the issue.

Anyone else tired of hearing Anderson say "we have heard the jaws of life" goodness, i need to go to bed.

So is that Unlucky lottery or sucks to be you if you're in the car.

My guess is unlucky lottery. Stopped at a redlight probably honking at the car in front of you thinking of the pizza that you just picked up. Then WHACK a Herb Turd just hit you.

Oh no a flap indicator............ Hey anderson you're an idiot.

A correspondent stated they circled for three hours to burn off fuel.


(Not really, but I couldn't resist.)

For a pilot this can't be a good time for them.---Anderson

yeah no kidding. He's calling his stockbroker right now saying sell sell sell.

Does anyone else find it amusing that Anderson Cooper keeps saying "we don't want to head down the road of speculation"??

Also, "the nose gear of a 737 is no match for a car." Hmmmm......

Anderson is a real tool. He needs to shut his worthless trap immediately.

might be a good time for a gettaway. sorry could'nt resist.

Would the captain have gotten in trouble in they used their alternate? From the looks of it, i'd say getthereistis?

I was thinking...

"picked a bad day to stop sniffin glue."

Almost any minute now I am expecting to see John and Martha King give us all their professional insight as to what happened. They probably just didnt have the carb heat out. Thats gotta be it.

Ahh, but they had "in flight visibility".....

yeah, right.


I'm surprised cooler heads didn't prevail on that one.

Seemed like a an accident waiting to happen....

extremely low vis...

tailwind

short runway

contaminated short runway

prly tanked with fuel given the weather...

In the end, as usual, I'll predict that the NTSB findings won't surprise any of us. And we'll have these guys to thank for that extra 5 hrs of ground school we'll get.

She needs to start Rogaine immediately if she hasnt already done so.

 

[Almerick07]

Why do they keep cutting off all the people that actually have some credentials for these drunk "eye" witnesses they are pulling out of the bar?

 

[minitour]

muahaha!

Dibs on her having more hair on her upper lip than he.......



Thank GOD someone shut that lady up... "it was like 9/11..." yeah... JUST like that.

Really, what happens when an airfield that meets FAA mins, but the PIC decides that he wants to takes his 100 or so passengers some where else? Does some burley hitman get dispatched from management to off your ass? Do you get labeled a MILF, and get recurrent training?
