For god sake, why is this in the Majors section?

They sprayed the aircraft before they were able to get out. Or, they just decided to stay inside where it was warm!

I would have waited it out too. I hate wet socks and shoes. The pilot did a nice job and hopefully the engine was close to overhaul...

I image that its newsworthy for those involved. My question is why is it on the majors board?

Thought it was odd that they sprayed it down with the 2 people inside. Then when they got out, they stood in the foam soaked ground, rather than taking 2 or 3 more steps and be on the dry ground.

Ah, now that you mention it that is interesting. Perhaps they figured they were already soaked so why not go with the status quo?
