Boy, that would be an.....arrival! g


I think I came into Midway like that once. The head flight attendant made
the announcement: "Ladies and Gentlemen, that was not the Pilot's
fault...that was not the Co-pilot's fault...that was the asphalt!" This was
followed up with a horse whinnying sound. Quickest stop I ever experienced.
I thought the plane was going to break up, it was shaking so hard.
