it’s worth it for the chick with the anklet, which takes up about a third of the second video...after the plane has reached Jacksonville...

The two runways are only a couple miles apart and run in pretty much the same direction.
The main difference is the one is 3 times longer.

i know, i used to live in Tampa... the length would be the hardest thing to miss, but, seeing all those little planes on the ramp and NEITHER ONE of them thought a thing about it???
but i guess if they didn't give the length of the runway a second thought, well...
and what about the tower?

You would never think you could stop a plane that bit that fast.

I wonder what the makeup of the crew is?
Will there be a courts-martial?
At least a good @zz chewing.

Sounds like what happened to Comair Flight 191 out of Lexington back in August 2006. They were supposed to take off from runway 22, which was over 7,000-feet long, but instead tried to take off from runway 26, which was only 3,500 feet long. Forty-nine of the fifty people onboard died in the crash.

He screwed up for sure. I thought I read where he was coming back from the middle east so I’m sure fatigue was a factor.

I wouldn’t have been worry that much about stopping (tremendous reversing thrust) my concern would have been weight restrictions
