“The airport didn’t shut down arrivals/departures at all.”
The crash is off the field.
I was in the #2 Aircraft behind the FedEx 727 that crashed in Kansas City several years back. We circled for 30 minutes, at low altitude, in icing conditions, before they allowed us to land. Another couple of minutes, and we’d have diverted.
wow, your experience must have been surreal.
it does almost look like they either ran out of fuel, or instrumentation caused the 1/2 mile or so short-of-landing on the smaller runway.
google maps shows houses and buildings on either side of the narrow path in. (to that shorter runway that runs NW/SE)
