Skid off at Chicago's Midway 13
A Southwest Boeing 737 with 98 passengers, 5 crew members, skid off the runway at Chicago's Midway airport. The event occured at 7:15 pm local time. The weather conditions were harsh; low visiblity, about 8.3 inches of snow on the ground and heavy winds. The plane ended on central and 55 where two cars crashed into it. A child died. Fort Lauderdale pilot says Midway usually is not difficult to land on but the conditions were pretty bad and if a problem comes up during landing, this airport cannot offer the 12000 ft runway that many pilots desire. Bad weather, short runway, poor visibility. What other elements could be possible causes for the accident? The NTSB will give a report on what happened within a few weeks.
