Please. This is not a 737 issue.
This is a problem with poorly maintained plane, probably distracted crew. Flight without A/C will have impact. What else was wrong with plane and crew. This is government contract to fly service members and facilities. It should be top condition and crew. Obviously not. Shameful.
“This is not a 737 issue.”
No, it’s not a 737-800 making a crater. It’s a 737 piloted by a skilled aircrew who successfully landed all of their passengers under extremely adverse conditions.
Everyone walked away from the landing therefore it was a successful landing.
