I'm not in the mood to argue  

but to talk about a crash in that way really isn't that great seeing as there were fatalities

[Da_Man]

grrr i know, people do not read!! i swear, they just see things they don't like and post.. READ i said i thought it was funny BEFORE they said there were casulties. first reporsts said no injuries.
my friend is a F/A for southwest and texted me when it happend and told me everyone was fine..
God im sick of the news trying to place blame on everyone and anything. one second they say pilot, then they blame it on the airport.. SHEESH! who cares whos fault it was right now.... let em figure it out people. im sure it was the runway being like ICE, living in chicago i can tell u.. it wasnt the best of nights. couldnt see anytihng. it was also the first major snow fall of the year, and ill bet that pilot flys this route daily.. this being the first snow fall he may have not anticipated the runway being as slick. who knows. leave it be

u really need to take a chill pill!! like seriosly!!

watch me I will created thsi flight tomorrow just to pist u off  


as about the crash, very sad waht happen and I think with 7 inches of snow on the runway, pilot should redirect to ohare where plowing done a little better. Very sad and stupid way to end a life.

#2: I'm more concern about runways there, those runway were build very long time ago but out planes were getting bigger and bigger, there is no where to expand them

Shut Up,  Why don't you go read that topic again?  Its obvious he meant no harm.  He was going to try and see if he could land in those conditions himself.  Guess What?  It was also before that 6 year old boy died.  So Chill Out and quit giving him all this ######, because he meant absolutely no harm.

Took this one at KMDW back in early September.  Not sure if its the same bird with Southwest having so many -700 series 737 aircraft.


NTSB are now saying accident likely could have been avoided with Thrust reversers working properly.

[as737700]

yeah..that's what I heard too.  The thrust reversers didn't kick in immidiately

Just out of curiosity, will the aircraft be repaired or is it most likely that it'll be written off?

If I had to guess... It'll be trucked to Boeing after the investigation. No aircraft that new is easy to write off.

[KORD_APPROACH]

Im pretty sure they are gunna repair it.  My aviation teacher said he saw a semi from Texas with "SWA" marking with aircraft jacks and a Carrier thingy that can support a fuselage.

It only suffered some nose damage, so no chance of it being written off I guess

Yeah...there would have to be some really serious damage to write off an aircraft a year old!
