For the record, this is NOT a new Boeing 737! It is a 737-800, and was manufactured in 2001.

Lotta questions about this accident — need more info.

Full disclosure, my SIL is a B737 Captain - I’ll ask him about it.

please ask your SIL if he would have attempted this approach on THIS particular runway under this particular weather conditions. the pilot chose to “switch” from Runway 28 to Runway 10 based on the ATC “suggestion”.. my personal opinion is that he should have flown to an alternate airport and wait for the weather to improve. I don’t know what the required runway length would be under the circumstances including but not limited to the displaced threshold for Runway 10, the wet pavement and the wind direction and speed, not to mention the thunder/lighting and wind shear potential.. etc..etc.....etc
