Im glad the airport installed EMAS. This could have been very ugly. Im glad everyone is safe!!!!

 

[flynryan15]

Yeah, you go off to the south west without that and you won't stop till you hit downtown!

Happy to hear everyone is alright. That could have been disastorous.

also glad EMAS was installed or this would have probably been certain death for everyone on board. Wonder how long it takes for them to fix the EMAS now that it's been crushed. pics and video here

config warning? anti skid?

Is the EMAS part of the stopway? How'd they get into the EMAS?

Do the ACARS numbers keep you out of the EMAS if you stomp on it at V1-1kt?

 

[Iceman540]

Any idea why they aborted?

Any idea why they aborted?

Waaaaay to early to tell. Unless the crew speaks up, it'll be awhile till we know.

Hope their first call was to their safety rep...

Wow. Having been there several times I know how bad that drop is. The engineers who came up with EMAS should be given a medal or something. That stuff has helped avert several potential disasters.
