A plane has apparently crashed through a fence at Midway airport in Chicago. Southwest airline 737 plane now sitting in intersection of 55th and Central. Channel 7 has confirmed, fire and ambulances on way. Details still sketchy.
We won't be living near any major commercial airport. Currently she lives half an hour from JFK.
oops...
as many as 9 injuries
Denver was on the radar, but about 2 years away.
They will be hurting Frontier and United. Which is fine with me, I fly free on USAirways for life now.
Prayers. It sounds like a family might have been in one of the cars.
Southwest resumes flying out of Denver on 3 January 2006.
10 days ago...ah, so that does make sense then. I was under the impression this happened this week or something, which meteorologically makes no sense since there would have been no way for ice to have formed instead of snow with this deep of cold air. But, it could have happened 10 days ago since teh cold air was less strong.
Thanks for the info. It sounds pretty bad......being without power in this cold (heck, it got down to -8 below here in central KS last night.....I can only imagine how bad it is in SD) has got to be terrible. I hope power can be restored quickly.
I haven't had a White Castle in twenty years.
....and don't even suggest I try the frozen ones that taste nothing like the , hot, greasy, steamed, onion covered, salt and peppered decadent real ones.
Oh my God I'm drooling~~~~~~~
I did Maho Beach a while back. It's awesome. But I've never seen one as low as that last pic! Holy crap!
just heard that one of the children died that was in transport to the hospital........so sad........
I think so. It looked a lot bigger standing under it though:') The darn thing groans
I've flown Southwest, always interesting. I'm glad the plane came to a safe stop, it was a freakin' blizzard there, per the footage on FOX. The Southwest pilots have quite a tongue in cheek sense of humor, I wonder if they had any quips once they realized all onboard were safe?
I hope for their sake they didn't quip, since they smooshed some Chicagoans with their little excursion.
Seriously, though, SW pilots: nice job. It could have been much worse, I think.
I doubt they were in much of a joking mood. They spent years and tens of thousands of dollars for training to get where they are, and now they're unemployed and unemployable.
