One of the talking heads just said they will foam the runway. I
thought that introduced more problems then it solved for a situation
like this.
I just heard on KABC an interview with an official from the LA fire
department, Jim Wells, who confirmed that they are not foaming the
runways. The radio host must have asked him at least a dozen times, "So
you're not going to foam the runway?" Wells started running low on
patience, "No, we are NOT foaming the runway."
Wells said that they are currently anticipating a landing around
6:05-6:10pm PT. They said they will run firetrucks along with the plane
as it lands and foam the plane if necessary.
