Ah, you guys are pussies. The fellows at Midway didn't have a tailhook
or
net
to contain them. G

Although, it could be said that they might have benefited from one.

I wonder why someone never got wise to using that "crushable concrete"
stuff
in the over-run area to catch the overly long landing? cost, I suppose.
I'll bet the family of the dead 6-year-old would like a chance to buy some
of that stuff for them.

IIRC, the FAA wants 1000' of it at each end ... what's that leave for runway
length at Midway?
