So far I gathered that Southwest Flight landed on 31C and overshot or was unable to brake and crshed through the barrier wall at KMDW and came to rest in the intersection.
Reports say it struck a car in the intersection and possibly injured 3 or 4 people.

Thats a pretty stupid idea, you'll never get there considering the amount of traffic held up.
