NTSB investigates go-around! REALLY!

Three miles? I guess Ms. Obama's never flown into ORD.

This alarmist crap makes me wanna puke. THE go-around is a demonstration of what's RIGHT with the system.

They should have made her do s-turns on final like going into 35 into phl!

The report I heard said the aircraft she was on did S-turns and then "aborted the landing". Of course that sounds more dramatic than the term go-around.

No one ever seems to think of the air brakes. C'mon - it worked for Bugs Bunny!

Yep, politics over common sense. Had to go around in LAX a few years back when someone ahead of us chose to use every inch of 25L. We didn't even make the local news.

Well, with a 500 knot final approach speed I doubt S-turns would have helped much.

I heard Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson will get to the bottom of this.

Yeah, right after they crawl out from underneath their w*************************! Of course they'll have to call Marion Barry first, and get him on board.....

"I was just passing through town...looking for something to do for the evening. The Rotary wasn't meeting...then I heard about this."

There will likely be two separation standards. One for high-profile or VIP movement and one for everyone else.

Hows does WN make it work?
