MDW Overrun - SWA
Newsreports claim that the report was fair for the first half of the runway,
with poor breaking on the 2nd half.

Braking conditions were apparently reported as fair to poor. I would
think
that that would be sufficient to question the wisdom of landing with a
tail
wind on a relatively short (for commercial jets) runway.
I recall reading that it was reported as fair, and if it had been poor,
another runway would have automatically been put into use, and the first
one
closed. I could be wrong, but that is what I remembered.
