The runway deck is elevated about 5 feet above the surface of the street. There used to be a gas station across the street from the end of the runway. The plane went through the fence, dropped down to street level and entered the gas station. Thankfully and surprisingly it did not hit any pumps. <BR/><BR/>Needless to say there is no longer a gas station there, it's been replaced by some vegetation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-75934751736494034202008-05-22T20:05:00.000-07:002008-05-22T20:05:00.000-07:00That's chemical foam in Burbank, not snowstellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05941986132144764125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-22272385198305706362008-05-16T10:52:00.000-07:002008-05-16T10:52:00.000-07:00The Southwest Airlines B737 was not at Burbank, CA.<BR/>No snow in Burbank plus the only recorded accident on the books for SWA is Chicago Midway a few years ago<BR/>Ran off the end and crushed a kidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-52919334822918093272008-04-06T22:54:00.000-07:002008-04-06T22:54:00.000-07:00To provide a little insight:<BR/><BR/>The C-141 with the catastrophic wing failure fell victim to un-authorized fuel system plugs put in place during maintenance and not removed, the wing failed the first time they fuelled it.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-48918026503477704212008-04-04T18:00:00.000-07:002008-04-04T18:00:00.000-07:00Don't forget Aloha Airlines "737 convertible" Flight 243, <BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243.
