Flawed Landing Technique Tied to Midway Jet Crash
Federal investigators urged banning a landing technique tied to a Southwest Airlines jet that landed with insufficient runway and snow in Chicago. The plane stopped short, skipped a fence, and hit a car, killing a 6 year old boy. Reverse thrusters were not deployed until 18 seconds after touchdown, and insufficient runway buffers at Midway contributed to the disaster.
