I’ve flown in and out of Midway. It has a freakishly short runway for commercial jets.

The 737’s taxi to the very beginning of the runway, lock their brakes, throttle up, release the brakes and then pray real hard.

Attention all operators, brace yourselves for another round of FAA mandated runway analysis and larger factored distances.

Pretty soon you won’t be able to land on a runway unless there is 3 times as much needed for the landing distance of the airplane.

Second time for Southwest and Midway. Last time they almost went into a gas station and I believe a small boy was killed in a car.

“Triple A? Ah, Southwest 1919 here, ah, could you send us a big tow truck? Yeah, we're at the end of the runway...OK, thanks.”

In 2006, a Southwest plane overran the runway, killing a young boy in a car.

Story here.
